Endomyocardial fibrosis or Davies disease is a rare cause of restrictive cardiomyopathy. It is characterized by the deposit of fibrous material in the endocardium that leads to quickly progressive heart failure. It most frequently affects both ventricles, with isolated involvement of the right ventricle being the least common form. The clinical presentation of this entity is based on symptoms of right heart failure, although arrhythmias and conduction disorders may also be present. The treatment is determined by the management of congestion and surgical intervention in symptomatic patients. We present the first case of endomyocardial fibrosis isolated from the right ventricle in Colombia, we describe the clinical, etiological, imaging and management characteristics in order to deliver to the medical community an approximate understanding of this disease focusing on an unusual way...

Tuberculosis is a disease that is increasing and affects about 1/3 of the world’s population. In line with the increase in tuberculosis, cardiovascular disease has had a similar behavior to this group, ischemic coronary heart disease has become the main cause of death worldwide. It could be extracted, based on literature, a relationship between tuberculosis and ischemic coronary heart disease through risk factors in common and from a possible pathophysiological substrate that links them. The presentation of these two entities reported so far is varied: it has been found as a debut of an acute coronary syndrome in patients with active tuberculosis, and the progressive development of coronary atherosclerosis in patients with latent tuberculosis, among others. Given this possible link and the progressive increase in its incidence rates, we can affirm that we are facing an inadvertent synd...
