Migratory Flows and Endomyocardial Fibrosis: A Mysterious Disease in Western Countries

Migratory Flows and Endomyocardial Fibrosis: A Mysterious Disease in Western Countries

<b>Background</b>—Endomyocardial fibrosis (EMF) is a chronic restrictive cardiomyopathy endemic to tropical and subtropical regions, characterized by fibrotic thickening of the endocardium, predominantly affecting the ventricular chambers. As global migration increases, cases of EMF may...
