We describe a 25-year old man in whom segmental myocarditis and pericarditis was diagnosed using two-dimensional echocardiography. Churg-Strauss syndrome was suspected in the presence of asthma and evidence of hypereosinophilia. Early therapy with oral prednisone led to resolution of pericarditis but septal hypokinesia was still present after 4 years. The pathophysiology of segmental myocarditis in the Churg Strauss syndrome is discussed.

Myocarditis in association with cardiac dysfunction is classified as inflammatory CARDIOMYOPATHY usually caused by INFECTION, autoimmune diseases, or responses to toxic substances. Myocarditis is also a common cause of DILATED CARDIOMYOPATHY and other cardiomyopathies. Carditis,Myocarditides
