A comparison of endomyocardial disease in the rat with endomyocardial fibrosis in man

Journal of Comparative Pathology

Abstract

The features of 39 cases of spontaneous endomyocardial disease occurring in the rat heart are discussed and the condition is compared with endomyocardial fibrosis occurring in man. Rat endomyocardial disease is an age-related change characterized by subendocardial proliferation of spindle cells that may progress to a lesion histologically similar to fibrosarcoma. Human endomyocardial fibrosis, on the other hand, is not age-related and shows essentially fibrohyaline changes of low cellularity preceded by the occurrence of acid mucopolysaccharides in the subendocardial region; no evidence of malignant change has ever been reported.

Cardiomyopathy

Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle, that can lead to muscular or electrical dysfunction of the heart. It is often an irreversible disease that is associated with a poor prognosis. There are different causes and classifications of cardiomyopathies. Here are the latest discoveries pertaining to this disease.
