Endomyocardial fibrosis is a rare cardiomyopathy. There has to be a high level of suspicion to make the diagnosis. The treatment is based on symptomatic relief and surgical management is based on the exact pathology found in the left ventricle apex. MRI is a robust investigation which can confirm diagnosis and provide management options and prognosis.
