Does quantitative left ventricular regional wall motion change after fibrous tissue resection in endomyocardial fibrosis?

Does quantitative left ventricular regional wall motion change after fibrous tissue resection in endomyocardial fibrosis?

OBJECTIVES: We compared left ventricular regional wall motion, the global left ventricular ejection fraction, and the New York Heart Association functional class pre- and postoperatively. INTRODUCTION: Endomyocardial fibrosis is characterized by fibrous tissue deposition in the endomyocardium of the...
