Eosinophilic heart: Marked left ventricular wall thickening and myocardial dysfunction improving with corticosteroid therapy

We report a case of a 34-year-old male with acute severe heart failure associated with marked concentric left ventricular wall thickening and biopsy evidence of eosinophilic myocardial infiltrate. This appears to be an unusual description of this degree of concentric myocardial thickening in eosinophilic myocarditis coupled with Doppler tissue echocardiography. Following high-dose corticosteroid treatment, wall thickness, systolic and diastolic left ventricular function normalized and the patient experienced a dramatic clinical improvement. (ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY, Volume 20, May 2003).

Cardiac contributions to exercise training responses in patients with chronic heart failure: A strain imaging study

The improvement of exercise capacity due to exercise training in heart failure has been associated with peripheral adaptation, but the contribution of cardiac responses is less clear. We sought the extent to which the improvement of functional capacity in patients undergoing exercise training for heart failure was related to myocardial performance. Thirty-seven patients (35 men, age 64 +/- 11) with symptomatic heart failure and left ventricular ejection fraction

Intracardiac echo guided valvuloplasty of a stenotic tricuspid prosthetic valve in a patient with idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome

A 52-year-old male with idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES) was transferred to our institution following the development of acute respiratory failure and shock. He had previously undergone tricuspid valve replacement with bioprosthetic valves on two occasions: the initial surgery for severe native tricuspid valve stenosis and the redo surgery for severe prosthetic valve stenosis and regurgitation. Conventional imaging assessment using transoesophageal echocardiography was suboptimal and comprehensive assessment of prosthetic valve function was aided by the use of intracardiac echocardiography (ICE). ICE provided high quality 2D imaging of the prosthesis demonstrating thrombus-like material coating the inner surfaces of the prosthetic valve stents effectively forming a tunnel-like obstruction. Unusual hemodynamics secondary to severe tricuspid stenosis were demonstrated by CW Doppler with intermittent signal fusion resulting from blunted respiratory variation in the markedly elevated right atrial pressure relative to right ventricular pressure. Successful balloon valvuloplasty was performed with ICE proving highly valuable in guiding balloon position as well as monitoring the efficacy of the subsequent inflations.
