The value of left ventricular and left atrial strains in eosinophilic myocarditis and hypereosinophilic syndrome.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES) is a rare disease characterized by persistent eosinophilia associated with organ damage, and may be complicated by eosinophilic myocarditis (EM). However, the utility of strain imaging in these conditions remains unclear. We aimed to evaluate the value of strain imaging in HES.

Methods

We performed a cross-sectional study of all patients aged >18 years diagnosed with HES at Cleveland Clinic between September 1986 and January 2023. Left ventricular global longitudinal strain (LVGLS), left atrial (LA) strain, and right ventricular (RV) free wall strain were measured. The primary endpoint was a composite of stroke at diagnosis and major adverse cardiovascular events during the follow-up period. Outcomes were compared using chi-square
