A 57-year-old woman presenting with asthma, hypereosinophilia, and generalized unspecific symptoms was diagnosed with Churg-Strauss syndrome. Echocardiography revealed a cardiac mass obliterating the right ventricle and severely impaired left ventricular function, which were caused by endomyocardial fibrosis. Cortisone and cyclophosphamide therapy resulted in amelioration of left ventricular function and significant size reduction of the right ventricular mass.
一位 57 岁女性因哮喘、嗜酸性粒细胞增多和全身非特异性症状就诊,被诊断为 Churg-Strauss 综合征。超声心动图显示心肌内肿块使右心室闭塞并严重损害左心室功能,这是由心内膜心肌纤维化引起的。皮质激素和环磷酰胺治疗使左心室功能得到改善,右心室肿块的大小显著缩小。
