Beck's Myocardial Fibrosis: Description, Symptoms and Treatment

Beck's myocardial fibrosis is a rare heart disease that is characterized by the presence of fibrosis in the myocardium, that is, in the muscle tissue of the heart. This disease was described by the Norwegian dermatologist S.R.M. Beck in 1882, but still little is known about its causes and mechanisms of development.

Symptoms of Beck myocardial fibrosis can be different and depend on the degree of myocardial damage. Some patients may experience no symptoms, while others may experience cardiac arrhythmias, shortness of breath, fatigue, chest pain, and even heart failure.

Diagnosis of beck myocardial fibrosis can be difficult as symptoms may be nonspecific and similar to other heart diseases. To confirm the diagnosis, various research methods can be used, such as ECG, echocardiography, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging and myocardial biopsy.

Treatment of beck myocardial fibrosis is aimed at improving the patient’s quality of life and preventing the progression of the disease. Using medications can help control symptoms and prevent the development of heart failure. In some cases, surgery may be required to correct fibrosis in the myocardium.

Although myocardial fibrosis is a rare disease, it can have serious consequences for the patient's health. Therefore, it is important to consult a doctor if you experience heart-related symptoms for timely diagnosis and treatment.
