title: Restrictive cardiomyopathy in an infant with massive biatrial enlargement and normal ventricular size and pump function.
abstract: Restrictive cardiomyopathy in an infant with massive biatrial enlargement and normal ventricular size has been reported only once previously [3]. We now present a 13-month-old patient with severe and progressive congestive heart failure who demonstrated normal ventricular cavity size with biatrial enlargement. Ejection fraction and echocardiographic ventricular function studies were normal.
