Abstract
Endocardial fibroelastosis (EFE) in a mother and daughter are reported. This entity has a primary and secondary form. In this case, the 23-year-old mother died 11 months after delivery with findings of EFE. At age 3(1/2) years, the daughter was admitted in congestive heart failure and did not respond to medical management. The autopsy findings revealed EFE. Endocardial fibroelastosis in both mother and daughter is a very rare finding.Entities:
