Key result
A 44-year-old woman with marked eosinophilia and congestive heart failure was diagnosed with Loeffler's endocarditis, demonstrating a restrictive pulse contour and marked atrial conduction delay.
Case Report (n=1)
This case report describes the angiographic and electrophysiologic findings of a patient with Loeffler's endocarditis presenting with heart failure and eosinophilia.
A 44-year-old woman with marked eosinophilia, leukocytosis, congestive heart failure, and the murmur of mitral stenosis had a restrictive type of pulse contour at cardiac catheterization. A right atrial angiogram revealed a huge right atrium, a small right ventricle, and a dilated contractile outflow tract consistent with the diagnosis of Loeffler's endocarditis. A marked conduction delay at the atrial level was demonstrated by His bundle electrogram studies.

Gould et al. (1977) conducted a case report in Fibroplastic Parietal Endocarditis With Eosinophilia (Loeffler's endocarditis) (n=1). A 44-year-old woman with marked eosinophilia and congestive heart failure was diagnosed with Loeffler's endocarditis, demonstrating a restrictive pulse contour and marked atrial conduction delay.
