Description of CME Course
A man in his 50s presented with progressive dyspnea, eosinophilia (eosinophils, 3.27 × 109/L; to convert to /μL, divide by 0.001), thrombocytopenia (platelet count, 53 × 109/L; to convert to × 103/μL, divide by 1), and elevated troponin T level (530 ng/L; to convert to micrograms per liter, divide by 1000 and multiply by 1). Relevant exposure to allergens was ruled out.
Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) demonstrated biventricular thrombus formation, apical translocation of the tricuspid valve (TV) insertion point, and subendocardial hyperechogenicity, confirmed by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (Figure and Video). No prior echocardiographic studies were available for comparison.
