  • Title: [Diagnosis of restrictive cardiomyopathy in the hypereosinophilia syndrome by 2-dimensional echocardiography].
    Author: Kujat C, Kasper W, Wandel E, Grandjbakhch I, Pavie A, Cabrol C.
    Journal: Z Kardiol; 1983 Nov; 72(11):693-5. PubMed ID: 6686395.
    Abstract:
    The cardiac manifestation of the hypereosinophilic syndrome was diagnosed by means of echocardiography in a 36-year-old man. The following two-dimensional echocardiographic characteristics indicated a restrictive cardiomyopathy in this patient: Enlargement of the left atrium. Thrombotic obliteration of the left ventricle from the apex up to the subvalvular region. Embedding of the chordae tendineae and papillary muscles by the thrombotic mass. Normal left ventricular ejection fraction. The echocardiographic findings were verified by autopsy.
