Eosinophilic Myocarditis: Is Endomyocardial Biopsy Essential for Diagnosis in the Era of Advanced Cardiac Imaging?

A 60-year-old female presented with dyspnea and chest pressure. Clinical presentation, laboratory data, echocardiography, and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging findings confirmed diagnosis of eosinophilic myocarditis and obviated unnecessary invasive endomyocardial biopsy. She was treated wit...

Sumario:A 60-year-old female presented with dyspnea and chest pressure. Clinical presentation, laboratory data, echocardiography, and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging findings confirmed diagnosis of eosinophilic myocarditis and obviated unnecessary invasive endomyocardial biopsy. She was treated with oral steroid and oral anticoagulation. Follow-up CMR imaging showed resolution of the left ventricle thrombus with improvement in endomyocardial inflammation.
