Classification of a collection of malformed human hearts: practical experience in the use of sequential segmental analysis.

abstract：:The observation that endocardial fibroelastosis (EFE) can result from an immune response to maternal autoantibody deposition in the fetal myocardium raises the possibility that the fetal immune system may contribute to the pathogenesis of idiopathic EFE and dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). This study sought to characteri...
