Eosinophilic myocarditis (EM) is a cardiac manifestation of hypereosinophilic syndrome with a high mortality rate. EM shares imaging features similar to other restrictive cardiopathies, and include patchy intramural late gadolinium enhancement on cardiac magnetic resonance with or without presence of biventricular thrombus. Diagnosis is confirmed on histopathology, and is the current gold standard. Here we report clinical presentation and imaging findings of EM in a 70-year-old woman who presented with fever and chills.
嗜酸性粒细胞性心肌炎(EM)是高嗜酸性粒细胞综合征的一种心脏表现,死亡率很高。EM具有与其他限制性心肌病相似的影像学特征,包括心脏磁共振成像上壁内斑片状延迟钆增强,伴或不伴有双心室血栓。组织病理学检查可确诊,这是目前的金标准。在此,我们报告一名70岁女性患者的EM临床表现及影像学检查结果,该患者出现发热和寒战。
