Benign course of endomyocardial fibrosis as a late complication of hypereosinophilic syndrome.
A case of Endomyocardial Fibrosis is reported, which retrospectively confirms the well known link between Endomyocardial Fibrosis and the Hypereosinophilic Syndrome in the temperature climate. We could trace back the history of this patient for 20 years. This suggests a benign form of endomyocardiopathy associated with mild cardiac restriction. 2-D apical echocardiography proved to be very useful as a non invasive tool for obtaining the correct diagnosis.
