Loeffler Endocarditis: A Unique Presentation of Right-Sided Heart Failure Due to Eosinophil-Induced Endomyocardial Fibrosis

Clinical Medicine Insights: Case Reports, 2017
Loeffler endocarditis is a rare restrictive cardiomyopathy caused by abnormal endomyocardial infiltration of eosinophils, with subsequent tissue damage from degranulation, eventually leading to fibrosis. Although an uncommon entity, it is still a disease

Comparison of Ventricular Inducibility with Late Gadolinium Enhancement and Myocardial Inflammation in Endomyocardial Biopsy in Patients with Dilated Cardiomyopathy. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Risk stratification of patients with non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy remains a matter of debate in the era of device implantation.We investigated associations between histopathological findings, contrast-enhanced cardiac MRI and the inducibility of ...

Radiological Findings in Endomyocardial Fibrosis [PDF]

Circulation, 1967
The radiological findings in 102 cases of endomyocardial fibrosis occurring in Equatorial Africa are presented. Postmortem studies confirmed the diagnosis in 39 cases. Angiocardiography was done in 78. The right side of the heart was primarily involved in 48 patients and the cardiac silhouette was characteristically globular suggesting a pericardial ...

Acute myocarditis according to age: Presentation, management and early outcomes

ESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
MIS, multisystem inflammatory syndrome; MRE, myocarditis‐related events (within 30 days included all‐cause death, cardiogenic shock, cardiac arrest, ventricular arrhythmias or complete AV block). Abstract Aims Acute myocarditis (AM) is a rare but severe disease affecting patients of all ages. Large multicentric studies comparing children and adults are
