title: Diagnosing cardiac involvement in the hypereosinophilic syndrome by cardiac magnetic resonance.
abstract: Hypereosinophilic syndrome is characterized by unexplained hypereosinophilia involving different organ systems. The investigators present a patient diagnosed with hypereosinophilic syndrome in which cardiac magnetic resonance was pivotal in establishing the presence of cardiac involvement.
