MRI-based Evidence for Myocardial Involvement in Women with Hypereosinophilic Syndrome
Abstract
PURPOSE: The aim of the study was to assess the presence and spectrum of cardiac abnormalities identified by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) in women with hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES) of undefined etiology, who present with normal electrocardiography (ECG) and transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) and no history of heart disease.
METHODS: Ten women (mean age, 48 ± 14 years) with HES of undefined etiology, normal ECG and TTE, and no history …
