DOI: 10.1111/echo.13575
Abstract: Loeffler endocarditis is a complication of hypereosinophilic syndrome resulting from eosinophilic infiltration of heart tissue. We report a case of Loeffler endocarditis in which three‐dimensional transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography provided additional information to what was… read more here.

DOI: 10.1136/bcr-2018-227642
Abstract: Loeffler endocarditis is an uncommon restrictive cardiomyopathy associated with eosinophilia and endomyocardial fibrosis causing diastolic restriction, predominantly involving the right ventricle. Cardiac MRI plays a crucial role in early detection of disease. Early disease usually… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s12872-021-02443-2
Abstract: Background Loeffler endocarditis is a relatively rare and potentially life-threatening heart disease. This study aimed to identify the characteristic features of Loeffler endocarditis with intracardiac thrombus on a background of hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES). Case presentation… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/diagnostics13101795
Abstract: The presence of the Fip1-Like1-platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha (FIP1L1–PDGFRα) fusion gene represents a rare cause of hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES), which is associated with organ damage. The aim of this paper is to emphasize the… read more here.

DOI: 10.6515/acs.201909_35(5).20190505a
Abstract: Hypereosinophilia (HE) is diagnosed with persistent eosinophilia (absolute eosinophil count > 1.5 × 109/L) recorded on two occasions at least 1 month apart.1 If there is evidence of organ damage caused by HE and exclusion… read more here.
