From: Hypereosinophilic syndrome masquerading as a myocardial infarction causing decompensated heart failure

Figure 4

Panels A-F Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging–Phase sensitive inversion recovery gadolinium delayed enhancement images through the left ventricle are shown in short axis planes (A-C): basal, mid and apical cross-sections, and in long axis planes (D-E): 2-chamber view showing the anterior and inferior walls, 3-chamber showing the antero-septal and infero-lateral walls and 4-chamber showing the infero-septal and antero-lateral walls. Normal myocardial signal is nulled and therefore appears black. The white arrows point to the multi-territorial regions of shallow subendocardial hyperenhancement; C–also demonstrates a focus of more transmural inferoapical involvement. Features are in keeping with hypereosinophilic endomyocarditis.
