Eosinophilic endomyocardiopathy

Abstract

Summary:A young patient with a severely elevated eosinophil count died from manifestations of severe eosinophilic endomyocardiopathy. Echocardiographic and hemodynamic evaluation were diagnostic of a rapidly progressive restrictive cardiomyopathy . Progression of cardiac disease in the face of medical treatment is an ominous sign and may argue lor earlier surgical intervention in this syndrome.
