Endocardial fibroelastosis is a rare genetic disorder that affects the valves of the heart, causing them to thicken and stiffen. The thickening and stiffening can lead to heart failure, arrhythmias, blood clots, and other serious complications.Fortunately, there are risk factors for endocardial fibroelastosis that you can be aware of to help you identify and prevent this condition.Risk factors for endocardial fibroelast  Read More

The cause of fibroelastic endocarditis/Endomyocardial fibrosis (EMF), is not known, but it can be treated using antibiotics. If you have fibroelastic endocarditis, it's important to take your medication as prescribed by your doctor. The treatment for fibroelastic endocarditis will depend on what type of valve is affected and how severe the infection is. In some cases, surgery may be needed to replace damag  Read More

Mirror-image dextrocardia, the most prevalent type of cardiac malposition encountered, is dextrocardia, which is almost always linked to situs inversus of the abdominal organs. The aortic arch curves to the right and posteriorly, and the anatomic right ventricle is ahead of the left ventricle. On the left side is the three-lobed anatomic right lung. In general, the risk of an infracardiac malformation is not increased.Risk factors  Read More

An exceedingly uncommon congenital (existing at birth) cardiac abnormality is cor triatriatum/triartial heart. The human heart typically consists of four chambers, of which two are called atria. •The atrial septum is a partition (septum) that separates these two from one another. •The septum also divides the other two chambers, referred to as ventricles. •Over the left atriu  Read More

Episodes of a fast heart rate (tachycardia) can begin suddenly and may last a few seconds or several hours. Episodes can occur during exercise or while at rest. Other signs and symptoms of WPW syndrome are related to the fast heart rate and underlying heart rhythm problem (arrhythmia). The most common arrhythmia seen with WPW syndrome is supraventricular tachycardia. Supraventricular tachycardia causes episodes of a fast, pounding hear  Read More
