Loeffler endocarditis is an uncommon restrictive cardiomyopathy associated with eosinophilia and endomyocardial fibrosis causing diastolic restriction, predominantly involving the right ventricle. Cardiac MRI plays a crucial role in early detection of disease. Early disease usually responds well to corticosteroids. We describe a case of Loeffler endocarditis with isolated left ventricular involvement on MRI in a young male having hypereosinophilia.
吕弗勒心内膜炎是一种罕见的限制性心肌病,与嗜酸性粒细胞增多和心内膜心肌纤维化有关,可导致舒张功能受限,主要累及右心室。心脏磁共振成像(MRI)在疾病的早期检测中起着关键作用。早期疾病通常对皮质类固醇反应良好。我们描述了一例年轻男性吕弗勒心内膜炎患者,其MRI显示孤立的左心室受累,伴有嗜酸性粒细胞增多。
