[Endomyocardiopathy and eosinophilia (author's transl)]. 1979

H Butt, and G Eisele, and P Keller, and W Goeck

Clinical, laboratory, and necropsy findings in a male patient with marked eosinophilia and fatal cardiac failure are reported. Necropsy revealed an obliteration of the left ventricle caused by endomyocardial fibrosis, left ventricle hypertrophy, and white thrombus. There was also found endomyocardial fibrosis and hypertrophy of the right ventricle. Pathogenesis and treatment of endomyocardiopathies are discussed.
