- Cardiac involvement is the main cause of morbidity and mortality in hypereosinophilic syndrome. In a patient with hypereosinophilia and a normal echocardiography, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) helped confirm early cardiac involvement by demonstrating a typical pattern of left ventricular subendocardial and papillary muscle involvement. The use of CMR facilitated prompt institution of aggressive therapy and was useful in monitoring response to treatment.
