Abstract
Primary endocardial fibroelastosis (EFE) is a cardiomyopathy of unknown origin that affects infants and young children.We treated 6 cases of EFE. 4 cases are alive and 2 cases died. The important prognostic factors are : duration of untreated period, low voltage and extremely high voltage in the left chest leads of the electrocardiogram and a high degree of fibroelastosis histologically.The LV functions of the 3 living cases have not improved on echocardiography despite intensive treatment, so careful follow up is necessary.
