Follow-up CMR in a case of Loeffler endocarditis

Clin Case Rep. 2020 Nov 20;9(1):599-600. doi: 10.1002/ccr3.3582. eCollection 2021 Jan.

Abstract

The typical finding of hypereosinophilic syndrome (Eosinophilic myocarditis) in the delayed enhancement (DE) cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) is the "double V" sign, which includes (a) normal myocardium, (b) thickened enhanced endomyocardial layer, and (c) overlying apical thrombus. Corticosteroids may result in significant improvement of myocardial involvement.

Keywords: cardiac magnetic resonance imaging; eosinophilic myocarditis; hypereosinophilic syndrome; loeffler endocarditis.
