ABSTRACT

A endomiocardiofibrose é uma cardiopatia restritiva, pouco comum, com descrição recente. Foi descrita pela primeira vez em 1938, por Williams e estudada do ponto de vista anatomopatológico pelo patologista Davies, na África do Sul, recebendo o epônimo Doença de Davies em 1948. Considerando a história natural dessa doença, há maior incidência de diagnósticos nas terceiras e quartas décadas da vida, com média de 32 anos. Queremos chamar a atenção da comunidade científica, relatando o caso de uma senhora com diagnóstico inicial de endomiocardiofibrose aos 90 anos e indagar sobre a incidência e o subdiagnóstico dessa doença, bem como sua evolução


Endomyocardial fibrosis is a rare, recently-described, restrictive cardiopathy. It was first described in 1938 by Williams and studied from an anatomopathological perspective by pathologist Davies in South Africa, receiving the eponym Davies Disease in 1948. In terms of the natural history of this disease, there is a higher incidence of diagnoses in the third and fourth decades of life, at a mean age of 32 years. We want to raise the awareness of the scientific community by reporting the case of a woman who was first diagnosed with endomyocardial fibrosis at 90 years of age and pose questions about the incidence and subdiagnosis of this disease, as well as about its evolution

ABSTRACT

A miocardiopatia não compactada (MNC) é uma cardiopatia rara e congênita. Sua origem, possivelmente, ocorre durante o desenvolvimento embrionário, devido às alterações genéticas, cursando com insuficiência cardíaca, arritmia, precordialgia e tromboembolismo venoso. Nesse estudo, descreve-se o caso de uma mulher de 34 anos de idade, diagnosticada com MNC e em acompanhamento em hospital terciário, no oeste do interior paulista, junto ao departamento de Cardiologia. Inicialmente, a paciente apresentou sintomas arrítmicos associados à precordialgia, refratários ao tratamento antiarrítmico. O quadro progrediu, havendo dispneia e sudorese. Diante disso, iniciou-se investigação aprofundada, cogitando-se MNC. Objetivou-se demonstrar o quadro clínico inicial, a progressão da sintomatologia e a eficácia do seguimento realizado pelos profissionais que a assistem


Noncompaction cardiomyopathy (NCC) is a rare congenital heart disease possibly originating during embryonic development due to genetic changes, and resulting in heart failure, arrhythmia, precordialgia and venous thromboembolism. This study describes the case of a 34-year-old woman, diagnosed with NCC in follow-up with the Cardiology Department at a tertiary hospital in the west of the state of São Paulo. Initially, the patient presented arrhythmic symptoms associated with precordialgia, refractory to antiarrhythmic treatment; the symptoms progressed, with dyspnea and excessive sweating. Therefore, an in-depth investigation was initiated, considering NCC. The objective was to demonstrate the initial clinical symptoms, progression of the symptomatology, and the effectiveness of the follow-up performed by the attending professionals
