Loeffler Endocarditis as a Manifestation of Paraneoplastic Hypereosinophilia

Hypereosinophilic Syndrome with Advanced-Stage Loeffler Endocarditis

Project description:Graphical abstract Highlights • HES with cardiac involvement carries a poor prognosis with significant mortality.• Cardiac involvement is characterized by endomyocardial and valvar infiltrates.• Early recognition can be challenging as the initial stage is clinically silent.• Echocardiography can be sufficient in diagnosing and staging of Loeffler endocarditis.
