“…In comparison, the incidence of other types of myocarditis was considerably higher (0.11%) [78]. Another subtype of myocarditis in the context of systemic autoimmune disease is eosinophilic myocarditis, which is estimated to be present in 50-60% of cases of peripheral eosinophilia [79,80]. It has been shown that male sex hormones may act in a proinflammatory way, while female sex hormones protect against myocyte infectivity and reduce potentially harmful myocardial inflammatory response.…”

“…As the term indicates, it is the inflammation of myocardium due to invasion and subsequent release of toxins by the eosinophils. Hyper-eosinophilic conditions can be classified into three categories based on etiology: (a) idiopathic hyper-eosinophilic syndrome (HES) after exclusion of all known causes; (b) eosinophilia secondary to infections (particularly parasitic or helminthic), medications, allergic disorders, metastatic malignancies, endocrinopathy, and autoimmune disorders; (c) clonal disorders which include acute leukemia, myeloproliferative disorders, and chronic myeloid disorders [2].…”

“…All these toxins may damage the endothelial cells and myocytes causing necrosis and thrombosis which end up in endomyocardial fibrosis. Inflammatory changes within the endocardium and papillary muscle derangement may affect the heart valves which manifests as regurgitation [2].…”

“… 1 In selected patients, particularly those with negative virology and suspected autoimmune etiology, early treatment with corticosteroids has shown favorable results. 5 , 10 Due to the clinical and hemodynamic stability of the patient, and after infective exclusion, we decided to postpone the onset of corticosteroids until confirmation of eosinophilic myocarditis. In the literature, it is described that a period of immunosuppressive therapy of six months can bring significant improvements in the left ventricular function (increase of 15-20% on the ejection fraction), 10 which was verified in this case.…”

“… 4 Treatment includes neurohumoral therapy, management of cardiac complications, and in cases selected, systemic corticosteroid therapy. 5 Next, we present the case of a patient with symptomatology suggestive of myocardial infarction, but who in the course of the investigation had the diagnosis of eosinophilic myocarditis.…”
