  ABSTRACT: Tropical endomyocardial fibrosis (EMF) is a public health problem affecting the children, young adults and elderly individuals in an epidemic fashion in the coastal districts of south India. Due to lack of resources for research in these endemic areas, its etiology remains elusive and hypotheses ranging from infections and allergic causes to malnutrition and toxins have not been tested rigorously. The disease is characterized by endocardial fibrosis and the right ventricle is the cardiac chamber most frequently affected. Patients may present clinically with heart failure and an associated AV (atrioventricular) valve regurgitation is common. Several features of the advanced disease called as “burnt-out” stage of endomyocardial fibrosis (EMF) are not fully understood. Background of these case studies described the clinical presentation, echocardiographic features and management of this late stage of the disease.
