Subendocardial Sclerosis
📋Overview
Subendocardial sclerosis is a legacy term historically used to describe fibrotic thickening or scarring of the subendocardial layer of the heart. This finding is typically associated with ischemic heart disease, particularly chronic ischemia leading to myocardial fibrosis beneath the endocardium. The modern preferred terminology relates to ischemic cardiomyopathy or myocardial fibrosis secondary to coronary artery disease. The term itself is not commonly used in current clinical practice but refers to pathological changes seen in chronic heart muscle injury.
