Hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES) is a heterogeneous group of hematological disorders characterized by a chronic, unexplained hypereosinophilia with tissue damage. Cardiac involvement occurs in ∼20% of patients with HES and represents a major turning point. Cardiac injuries related to eosinophilia are divided into three chronological phases: eosinophilic infiltration, thrombosis, and fibrosis. We report a case of a 33-year-old woman diagnosed with HES, with pulmonary and gastrointestinal involvement and eosinophilic myocarditis in cardiogenic shock. The evolution was favorable with dobutamine, anticoagulation, corticosteroids, and later, β-blockers and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors. Cardiac involvement in HES is rare but carries a poor prognosis. Corticosteroids are considered by many to be the mainstay of treatment. Although new treatments have been suggested, only a few seem promising.
高嗜酸性粒细胞综合征(HES)是一组异质性血液系统疾病,其特征为慢性、不明原因的嗜酸性粒细胞增多并伴有组织损伤。约20%的HES患者会出现心脏受累,这是一个主要转折点。与嗜酸性粒细胞增多相关的心脏损伤可分为三个时间阶段:嗜酸性粒细胞浸润、血栓形成和纤维化。我们报告一例33岁女性,诊断为HES,伴有肺部和胃肠道受累以及心源性休克的嗜酸性粒细胞性心肌炎。在使用多巴酚丁胺、抗凝、皮质类固醇治疗后,病情好转,后期加用β受体阻滞剂和血管紧张素转换酶抑制剂。HES患者的心脏受累罕见,但预后较差。许多人认为皮质类固醇是主要治疗方法。尽管已提出新的治疗方法,但只有少数似乎有前景。
