| description | Eosinophilic myocarditis (EM) is a cardiac manifestation of hypereosinophilic syndrome with a high mortality rate. EM shares imaging features similar to other restrictive cardiopathies, and include patchy intramural late gadolinium enhancement on cardiac magnetic resonance with or without presence of biventricular thrombus. Diagnosis is confirmed on histopathology, and is the current gold standard. Here we report clinical presentation and imaging findings of EM in a 70-year-old woman who presented with fever and chills. |
