title: Cardiovascular magnetic resonance in endocardial fibroelastosis.
abstract: Endomyocardial fibroelastosis is a rare disorder marked by characteristic morphological changes of the endocardium. We report a case of endomyocardial fibroelastosis diagnosed by late gadolinium-enhanced CMR and confirmed by endomyocardial biopsy. The patient improved following treatment with imatinib.
