Echocardiogram in parasternal long axis view demonstrating a region of dense calcification (Calc) in the left ventricle, in a case of left ventricular endomyocardial fibrosis. LV: left ventricle; RV: right ventricle; Ao: aorta; LA: left atrium.

E wave is taller than A wave in the mitral inflow tracing, suggesting left ventricular diastolic dysfunction.
