Acute eosinophilic myocarditis is a rare cause of acute heart failure. We present the case of a 32-year-old woman who had presumptive eosinophilic myocarditis as part of a generalized hypersensitivity reaction (Drug Rash with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms [DRESS] syndrome) that exhibited a dramatic response to steroid therapy. We highlight the central role of 2-dimensional and tissue-Doppler echocardiography in the diagnosis of myocarditis and the serial evaluation of left ventricular systolic and diastolic function in this setting.
急性嗜酸性粒细胞性心肌炎是急性心力衰竭的罕见病因。我们报告了一例32岁女性病例,该患者疑似患有嗜酸性粒细胞性心肌炎,这是全身性超敏反应(药物性皮疹伴嗜酸性粒细胞增多和系统症状 [DRESS] 综合征)的一部分,对类固醇治疗表现出显著反应。我们强调二维和组织多普勒超声心动图在心肌炎诊断以及在此情况下对左心室收缩和舒张功能进行系列评估中的核心作用。
