Hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES) is a rare disease characterized by unexplained peripheral eosinophilia along with evidence of end-organ damage. Cardiac involvement is the most life-threatening consequence and is frequently underreported with a prevalence of around 5%. The gold standard for diagnosis is myocardial biopsy, but less-invasive imaging such as cardiac MR (CMR) has been frequently used to help with the diagnosis. We are presenting a unique case of a patient diagnosed with Eosinophilic myocarditis (EM) supported by CMR with rapid improvement after starting steroid treatment. <i>Case Presentation</i>. A 67-year-old African American female with extensive cardiovascular disease history presenting with chest pain was diagnosed with EM secondary to hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES). Lab workup revealed absolute eosinophils of 4.70 × 10<sup>3</sup>/<i>μ</i>L (normal 0-0.75 × 10<sup>3</sup>/<i>μ</i>L). Transthoracic echocardiography showed mild reduction in left ventricular function and a large obliterating thrombus in the right ventricular apex. CMR showed increased signal intensity at the left ventricular and right ventricular apex, consistent with myocardial edema. Subsequently, the patient was placed on dexamethasone 10 mg daily with significant symptomatic improvement. <i>Discussion</i>. EM is a rare complication of hypereosinophilic syndrome and can mimic common cardiovascular diseases such as acute exacerbation of heart failure or myocardial infarction. A high index of suspicion is essential especially in the setting of suggestive lab workup. CMR is a promising noninvasive and cost-effective alternative for myocardial biopsy in diagnosis.</p>","PeriodicalId":51760,"journal":{"name":"Case Reports in Cardiology","volume":" ","pages":"8453581"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9270166/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"40489956","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A 73-year-old man presented to the emergency department with crescendo angina. He had a history of total aortic arch replacement with concomitant coronary artery bypass graft using left internal mammary artery. Emergent coronary angiography demonstrated severe stenosis at left main trunk bifurcation caused by calcified nodule.

Following the prompt discussion with our heart team, we performed percutaneous coronary intervention in the first step for treating the left main stenosis using rotational atherectomy into the unprotected left circumflex artery. After clinical recovery, stress myocardial scintigraphy identified the presence of anteroseptal ischemia, which indicated coronary subclavian steal syndrome due to left subclavian artery occlusion. Contrast-enhanced CT visualized that the occlusion originated from the anastomosis, suggesting the potential procedural risk of endovascular treatment by dilatation. Our heart team discussed again and decided to undergo axillo-axillary artery bypass surgery. He was discharged 8 days after the surgery without any sequelae.

The inner seed of the nut is the most utilized portion of the plant and is often sold as a food additive, natural laxative, or a weight loss supplement. Unfortunately, the seed itself is very toxic when consumed whole and in its raw state. Typical symptoms of toxicity include abdominal pain, vomiting, and diarrhea. Rarely, it can cause cardiac dysrhythmias, most commonly bradycardia and atrioventricular heart block. We present a case of a young adult female with no significant past medical history who developed typical symptoms of toxicity, as well as atrioventricular heart block following ingestion of a candlenut. Most documented cases describe complete resolution of gastrointestinal and cardiac symptoms about one week following ingestion; however, treatment while inpatient can consist of inotropes or vasopressor support, intravenous fluid hydration, electrolyte replacement, and antiemetics. Although the mechanism of action remains unclear, this report provides physicians with an understanding of the risks of ingestion and the knowledge of typical management of the toxic effects of the candlenut.","PeriodicalId":51760,"journal":{"name":"Case Reports in Cardiology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43204091","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
