The clinical, haemodynamic and angiographic features of 18 patients with right ventricular endomyocardial fibrosis (RVEMF) and 8 patients with Ebstein's anomaly of the tricuspid valve (EATV) have been compared. Diagnosis was confirmed by selective angiography. The position of the tricuspid annulus was identified from selective right ventricular angiograms and confirmed by selective right coronary angiography. In 83% of RVEMF patients the tricuspid annulus was displaced to the left of the spine. A false impression of displacement of the tricuspid leaflet can thus be created. However, a tricuspid leaflet displaced away from the tricuspid annulus was found only in patients with EATV. A considerable overlap exists between the wide spectrum of clinical presentations of the two conditions. Helpful distinguishing features that favour EATV were, the presence of a scratchy diastolic murmur and polyphasic QRS complexes in the ECG. Atrial fibrillation in the ECG, and myocardial calcification or pericardial effusion, whenever present, favour RVEMF.
