Eosinophilic Granulomatosis

Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) is a rare form of vasculitis characterised by atopic manifestations, inflammation of small-sized to medium-sized arteries and veins, hypereosinophilia and tissue infiltration with eosinophils. Cardiac complications occur most commonly in the absence of antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies. Cardiac complications include coronary arteritis (rare), pericarditis, myocarditis, endocardial fibrosis (Loeffler’s endocarditis) and intracavitary thrombosis of the left or right ventricle. This is the first reported case of large non-infectious valvular vegetations associated with EGPA.

Abstract Idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome is a rare systemic disease with an unexplained elevated eosinophil count. Loffler endomyocarditis is hypereosinophilic syndrome with endocardial fibrosis and restrictive cardiomyopathy. The atrioventricular valves are frequently involved, causing valvular regurgitation. Previously, there has been one case report of combined aortic and mitral valve involvement with Loffler endomyocarditis that was treated with bivalvular replacement. We describe a previously healthy 50-year-old man diagnosed with Loffler endomyocarditis complicated by peripheral thromboembolism and severe aortic regurgitation due to valve fibrosis and fibrotic vegetation on the aortic valve. He underwent embolectomy and aortic valve replacement in addition to treatment for his hypereosinophilia. He later presented with cardiomyopathy with severe aortic insufficiency due to the destruction of the aortic valve prosthesis by sterile fibrinous vegetation. To our knowledge, this is the second case in the literature in which Loffler endomyocarditis involves the aortic valve and the first patient in whom only the aortic valve is involved.

Morgagni hernia is a rare form of diaphragmatic hernia. It is a congenital defect of the diaphragm, often asymptomatic in adulthood and thus usually found only incidentally. Its treatment is predominantly surgical. This article presents three case reports of patients operated in our department.

Qrs Morphology

Verapamil-sensitive fascicular ventricular tachycardia (VT) is the most common form of idiopathic left VT. According to the QRS morphology and the successful ablation site, left fascicular VT can be classified into three subgroups: left posterior fascicular VT, whose QRS morphology shows right bundle branch block (RBBB) configuration and superior axis (common form); left anterior fascicular VT, whose QRS morphology shows RBBB configuration and right-axis deviation (uncommon form), and upper septal fascicular VT, whose QRS morphology shows narrow QRS configuration and normal or right-axis deviation (rare form). Posterior and anterior fascicular VT can be successfully ablated at the posterior or anterior mid-septum with a diastolic Purkinje potential during VT or at the VT exit site with a fused pre-systolic Purkinje potential. Upper septal fascicular VT can also be ablated at the site with diastolic Purkinje potential at the upper septum. Recognition of the heterogeneity of this VT and its unique characteristics should facilitate appropriate diagnosis and therapy.
