Time course of eosinophilic myocarditis visualized by CMR
We report the diagnostic potential of cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) to visualize the time course of eosinophilic myocarditis upon successful treatment. A 50-year-old man was admitted with a progressive heart failure. Endomyocardial biopsies were taken from the left ventricle because of a white blood cell count of 17000/mm3 with 41% eosinophils. Histological evaluation revealed endomyo...
متن کاملAcute necrotising eosinophilic myocarditis.
Löffler's endocarditis is a recognised complication of diseases associated with eosinophilia. Eosinophilic heart disease is usually chronic, but there is a rare acute variety. Three patients with an unusual form of eosinophilic heart disease characterised by acute necrotising eosinophilic myocarditis after a possible initial viral infection and underlying allergic diathesis are reported. In con...
متن کاملEosinophilic myocarditis and hypereosinophilic syndrome.
Hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES) is a heterogeneous group of hematological disorders characterized by a chronic, unexplained hypereosinophilia with tissue damage. Cardiac involvement occurs in ∼20% of patients with HES and represents a major turning point. Cardiac injuries related to eosinophilia are divided into three chronological phases: eosinophilic infiltration, thrombosis, and fibrosis. W...
متن کاملGiant cell myocarditis in the CMR era
Results 5 patients with histologically-proven GCM had CMR performed with 2 having repeat CMR. 4 out of the 5 patients were in cardiogenic shock at the time of biopsy (Patients No: 1, 2, 4 and 5). Most patients were initially too unwell for CMR. For the 5 patients, their times from presentation at our institution to time of endomyocardial biopsy (and initiation of treatment soon after) were 0, 3...
متن کاملTime course of gene expression in rat experimental autoimmune myocarditis.
Genetic responses that characterize experimental autoimmune myocarditis (EAM) have not yet been determined. To investigate gene expression in the myocardium of EAM, absolute copy numbers of 44 mRNA species [calcium-handling proteins, contractile proteins, natriuretic peptides (NPs), cytokines, chemokines, growth factors, renin-angiotensin-aldosterone (RAA) system, endothelins (ETs) and extracel...
