Endomyocardial (eosinophilic) disease - what does this mean

Endomyocardial (eosinophilic) disease is an inflammatory disorder caused by an abnormal accumulation of eosinophils in the endocardium and myocardium, resulting in myocardial fibrosis and dysfunction. it can be caused by a variety of factors, including allergic reactions, parasites, and some medications.

What happens during the disease - endomyocardial (eosinophilic) disease

Endomyocardial (eosinophilic) disease is an inflammatory disorder of the heart muscle caused by an abnormal accumulation of eosinophils in the endocardium. it is thought to be triggered by an immunological response to an infectious agent, such as a virus or bacteria, which leads to an inflammatory reaction and infiltration of the heart muscle. this infiltration of eosinophils can lead to myocardial fibrosis, which can cause cardiac dysfunction, arrhythmias, and even heart failure.

Clinical Pattern

How does a doctor diagnose

  • Echocardiogram
  • Cardiac MRI
  • Endomyocardial biopsy
  • Blood tests to check for eosinophilia
  • Electrocardiogram (ECG)
  • Chest X-ray
  • Cardiac catheterization

Treatment and Medical Assistance

Main goal of the treatment: To reduce inflammation and improve cardiac function
  • Administering corticosteroids to reduce inflammation
  • Administering immunosuppressants to reduce inflammation
  • Administering anti-inflammatory drugs to reduce inflammation
  • Administering antibiotics to treat any secondary infections
  • Administering diuretics to reduce fluid buildup in the heart
  • Providing supplemental oxygen to improve oxygen delivery to the heart
  • Providing nutritional support to improve cardiac function
  • Monitoring the patient's heart rate and rhythm
  • Performing regular echocardiograms to monitor cardiac function
  • Performing regular blood tests to monitor inflammation levels

Endomyocardial (eosinophilic) disease - Prevention

Endomyocardial (eosinophilic) disease prevention includes avoiding exposure to allergens, reducing stress, and managing conditions such as asthma that can lead to an increased risk of developing this disease. additionally, it is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle by eating a balanced diet, exercising regularly, and getting adequate rest.
