Loeffler's Endocarditis and the Diagnostic Utility of Multimodality Imaging
2020
Loeffler's endocarditis is a rare form of restrictive cardiomyopathy associated with eosinophilia and endomyocardial fibrosis. It manifests most commonly as diastolic dysfunction or valvular abnormalities due to eosinophilic infiltration and degranulation. Herein, we chronicle a case of left ventricular involvement with Loeffler's endocarditis. We emphasize the utility of multimodality imaging including two-dimensional echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging in providing diagnostic information, as there is no standardized diagnostic criteria to date.
