Background. Acute @entity296 has been documented in experimental models of @entity63 -reperfusion @entity130 and is usually investigated by magnetic resonance imaging. Purpose. We describe a case of acute ventricular wall thickening documented by echocardiography in a @entity1 developing @entity295 and @entity9818 . Case Description. A 40-year-old @entity1 , with a history of mixed connective tissue disease, was admitted with @entity4 and @entity221 . She developed @entity328 @entity295 and @entity854 were consistent with a @entity9818 . Echocardiography revealed an impressive diffuse thickening of the whole myocardium (interventricular septum 18   mm; posterior wall 16   mm) with diffuse @entity2845 and markedly reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (31%). There was also a moderate @entity2294 . Echocardiography was normal two months before. The @entity1 died from @entity712 . Macroscopic and microscopic examination of the heart suggested that the ventricular wall thickening was induced by oedematous changes, together with an excess of inflammatory cells. Conclusion. Acute ventricular wall thickening that corresponded to @entity296 as a first hypothesis was observed at echocardiography during the course of @entity295 complicated by @entity9818 .
