We are describing pulmonary valve involvement with thickening and stenosis detected by two-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography in an adult presenting with Löeffler's endocarditis. To our knowledge, this has not been described previously. Complete regression of the lesions occurred with corticosteroid therapy. Tricuspid valve thickening and stenosis and thickening and thrombus formation in the right ventricle also present initially disappeared completely with therapy.
我们描述了在一名患有勒夫勒心内膜炎的成年人中,经二维经胸超声心动图检测到的肺动脉瓣增厚和狭窄。据我们所知,此前尚未有过此类描述。经皮质类固醇治疗后,病变完全消退。最初出现的三尖瓣增厚和狭窄以及右心室增厚和血栓形成经治疗后也完全消失。
