Restrictive cardiomyopathy due to endomyocardial abnormality – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/612301769

Restrictive cardiomyopathy due to endomyocardial abnormality is restrictive cardiomyopathy related to a primary fibrosis involving the endocardial and myocardial layers of one or both ventricular chambers, with aggressive scarring obliterating the ventricular apices and subvalvar regions. Subclassification relates to the presence or not of hypereosinophilia, as well as geographic presentation (temperate versus tropical).
