Endocardial fibroelastosis in two related tiger cubs (Panthera tigris)
2018, Journal of Veterinary CardiologyCitation Excerpt :Endocardial fibroelastosis is a rare congenital defect that is characterized by thickening of the endocardium by layers of collagenous and elastic tissue as was seen in these cubs. It has previously been reported in humans, as well as in dogs, domestic cats, horses, cattle, and chickens [8–12]. In people, EFE can be hereditary or secondary to a number of other diseases, including infection with parvovirus [13,14].
A mouse model of endocardial fibroelastosis
2015, Cardiovascular PathologyCitation Excerpt :Some authors have suggested that an inflammatory response within the heart leads to a proliferation and migration of mesenchymal cells such as fibroblasts, myofibroblasts, or smooth muscle cells that deposit extracellular matrix constituents such as collagen and elastin within the endocardium [1,4,5]. While EFE has been described in a variety of animals such as horses, dogs, cats, ruminants, and chickens [6–10], the spontaneity with which these changes occur makes these species suboptimal for rigorous investigation. A rat model of EFE involving the heterotopic transplant of a 2-day-old donor heart into the abdomen of a syngeneic recipient rat has previously been described.
