Eosinophilic myocarditis (EM) is a rare disease, often associated with hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES). Historically, the diagnostic gold standard was endomyocardial biopsy (EMB). We present a unique case of a 58-year-old female who presents after a syncopal episode and was found to have a layered left ventricular (LV) thrombus. Using laboratory studies and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), we were able to delineate the etiology, avoiding any invasive testing.
嗜酸性粒细胞性心肌炎(EM)是一种罕见疾病,常与高嗜酸性粒细胞综合征(HES)相关。从历史上看,诊断金标准是心内膜心肌活检(EMB)。我们报告了一例独特病例,一名58岁女性在晕厥发作后就诊,发现有分层的左心室(LV)血栓。通过实验室检查和心脏磁共振成像(MRI),我们得以明确病因,避免了任何侵入性检查。
