Abstract
Non-tropical non-hypereosinophilic left ventricular endomyocardial fibrosis (EMF) is a rare condition, not associated with defined substrates, about which there is a paucity of data in the literature. We describe a series of EMF patients presenting to our institution over 4 years in a high-volume CMR service.

ECG was non-diagnostic in all cases, and echocardiography thought to represent the apical form of HCM
