Loeffler first described "fibroplastic parietal endocarditis with blood eosinophilia" in 1936. This we now know refers to the most common cardiac manifestation of an uncommon condition, the so-called hypereosinophilic syndromes. This condition typically results in a restrictive cardiomyopathy affecting the left heart, but here, we present an unusual case of a 65-year-old woman with chronic hypereosinophilia of at least 2 years, who presented with right heart failure as a result of eosinophilic endomyocardial infiltration of her right ventricle. We explore the diagnostic pathway and look at the literature on management.
勒夫勒于1936年首次描述了“伴有血液嗜酸性粒细胞增多的纤维增生性心内膜炎”。我们现在知道,这指的是一种罕见病症(即所谓的嗜酸性粒细胞增多综合征)最常见的心脏表现。这种病症通常会导致影响左心的限制性心肌病,但在此,我们报告一例不寻常的病例,一名65岁女性,患有至少2年的慢性嗜酸性粒细胞增多症,因右心室嗜酸性粒细胞性心肌内膜浸润而出现右心衰竭。我们探讨了诊断途径并查阅了有关治疗的文献。
