  2. Eosinophilic myocarditis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eosinophilic_myocarditis

    Eosinophilic myocarditis is often viewed as a disorder that has three progressive stages. The first stage of eosinophilic myocarditis involves acute inflammation and cardiac cell necrosis (i.e. areas of dead cells); it is dominated by symptoms characterized as the acute coronary syndrome such as angina, heart attack and/or congestive heart failure.

  3. Myocarditis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myocarditis

    Eosinophilic myocarditis is a subtype of myocarditis in which cardiac tissue is infiltrated by another type of pro-inflammatory blood cell, the eosinophil. Eosinophilic myocarditis is further distinguished from non-eosinophilic myocarditis by having a different set of causes and recommended treatments. [36] [20]

  4. Loeffler endocarditis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loeffler_endocarditis

    Additionally, and unlike in other forms of myocarditis, eosinophilic myocarditis may also show enhanced gadolinium uptake in the sub-endocardium. [8] [10] However, the only definitive test for Loeffler endocarditis is cardiac muscle biopsy showing the presence of eosinophilic infiltrates. Since the disorder may be patchy, multiple tissue ...

  5. Cardiomyopathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiomyopathy

    Eosinophilic myocarditis, inflammation of and injury to heart tissue due in part to its infiltration by eosinophils [32] Ischemic cardiomyopathy ( not formally included in the classification, due to ischemic cardiomyopathy being a direct result of another cardiac problem ) [ 31 ]

  6. Eosinophilia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eosinophilia

    Eosinophilia is a condition in which the eosinophil count in the peripheral blood exceeds 5 × 10 8 /L (500/μL). [1] Hypereosinophilia is an elevation in an individual's circulating blood eosinophil count above 1.5 × 10 9 /L (i.e. 1,500/μL).

  7. Drug rash with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drug_rash_with_eosinophil...

    Cardiac involvement usually presents with evidence of left ventricular dysfunction and ECG changes; it occurs more often in individuals taking minocycline, ampicillin, or sulfonamides, and is either a cardiac hypersensitivity reaction classified as an eosinophilic myocarditis which generally resolves or a far more serious acute necrotizing ...

  8. Acute eosinophilic leukemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acute_eosinophilic_leukemia

    Patients with acute eosinophilic leukemia have a propensity for developing bronchospasm as well as symptoms of the acute coronary syndrome and/or heart failure due to eosinophilic myocarditis and eosinophil-based endomyocardial fibrosis. [1] [2] Hepatomegaly and splenomegaly are more common than in other variants of AML.

  9. Uremic pericarditis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uremic_pericarditis

    Fibrinous pericarditis is an exudative inflammation.The pericardium is infiltrated by the fibrinous exudate. This consists of fibrin strands and leukocytes.Fibrin describes an amorphous, eosinophilic (pink) network.
