Endomyocardiopathy with eosinophilia

G O Solley, J E Maldonado, G J Gleich

    Mayo Clinic Proceedings
    |November 1, 1976
    PubMed
    Summary

    This study identifies endomyocardiopathy with eosinophilia, a severe condition characterized by heart disease and high eosinophil counts. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for managing this debilitating illness.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Hematology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • A complex syndrome involving eosinophilia, cardiomyopathy, and hepatosplenomegaly presents diagnostic challenges.
    • Previous classifications debated terms like eosinophilic leukemia and hypereosinophilic syndromes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To characterize a specific syndrome focusing on cardiac involvement, termed endomyocardiopathy with eosinophilia.
    • To analyze clinical and morphologic features in five affected patients.

    Main Methods:

    • Clinical observation of five patients over an 8-year period.
    • Morphologic analysis of eosinophils, including electron microscopy for cytoplasmic inclusions.
    • Echocardiography utilized for assessing cardiac involvement.

    Main Results:

    • Eosinophilia can precede symptomatic disease by many years.
    • Progressive restrictive cardiac disease was the primary cause of mortality and morbidity.
    • Osmiophilic cytoplasmic inclusions were identified in eosinophils of affected patients.
    • Echocardiography demonstrated utility in diagnosing and monitoring cardiac progression.

    Conclusions:

    • Endomyocardiopathy with eosinophilia is a distinct entity where cardiac disease is the major determinant of outcome.
    • Intensive therapy with steroids or cytotoxic agents is recommended to control disease progression.
    • Echocardiography is a valuable noninvasive tool for managing cardiac manifestations.
