Key result
Hypereosinophilic syndrome shows sequential cardiac progression from thrombotic to fibrotic stages over 4 years.
Why the study?
Definitive evidence that patients with hypereosinophilic syndrome sequentially pass through the acute necrotic, thrombotic, and fibrotic cardiac stages is lacking.

Sequential staging of HES cardiomyopathy lacks confirmation; this case leaves open non-linear disease trajectories.
Case Report (n=1)
This case report provides evidence that cardiac involvement in hypereosinophilic syndrome can progress sequentially from the thrombotic stage to the fibrotic stage.
Kim et al. (2015) conducted a case report in Hypereosinophilic syndrome with cardiac involvement (n=1). Hypereosinophilic syndrome was evaluated on Cardiac involvement progression. Hypereosinophilic syndrome with cardiac involvement demonstrated sequential progression from the thrombotic stage to the fibrotic stage over a 4-year follow-up period.
