Fibroplastic parietal endocarditis with eosinophilia.

L Gould, C V Reddy, W Chua

    Angiology
    |November 1, 1977
    PubMed
    Summary

    Loeffler's endocarditis, a rare condition, can cause severe heart issues like congestive heart failure and mitral stenosis. This case highlights its impact on cardiac structure and function, including conduction delays.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Hematology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Loeffler's endocarditis is a hypereosinophilic syndrome characterized by eosinophilic infiltration of the endocardium.
    • It can lead to restrictive cardiomyopathy and significant cardiac dysfunction.

    Observation:

    • The patient presented with marked eosinophilia, leukocytosis, congestive heart failure, and a mitral stenosis murmur.
    • Cardiac catheterization revealed a restrictive pulse contour.

    Findings:

    • Right atrial angiography showed a huge right atrium, small right ventricle, and dilated outflow tract, consistent with Loeffler's endocarditis.
    • His bundle electrogram studies demonstrated significant atrial conduction delay.

    Implications:

    • This case underscores the diverse cardiac manifestations of Loeffler's endocarditis.
    • Early recognition and diagnosis are crucial for managing this rare but severe condition.
