Angina-like chest pain and syncope as the clinical presentation of left ventricular endomyocardial fibrosis: a case report.
Angiology 2005
A 47-year-old woman complained of angina-like chest pain, near-syncope, and syncopal episodes of 17 years' duration. Physical examination was unremarkable. A 12-lead resting ECG showed symmetrically inverted T waves in the inferior and anterolateral leads. A graded treadmill exercise stress test precipitated angina-like chest pain accompanied by a near-syncopal episode associated with a systemic arterial pressure of 60/40 mm Hg. Echocardiography disclosed left ventricular apical obliteration. Left ventriculogram showed a typical "ace of heart'' shadow as well as filling defects and apical obliteration. Endomyocardial biopsy of the left ventricle diagnosed left ventricular endomyocardial fibrosis. Thus, angina-like chest pain and near-syncopal episodes should be added to the list of clinical manifestations of pure left ventricular endomyocardial fibrosis.
