Follow ‐up CMR in a case of Loeffler endocarditis

The typical finding of hypereosinophilic syndrome (Eosinophilic myocarditis) in the delayed enhancement (DE) cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) is the “double V” sign, which includes 1. normal myocardium, 2. thickened enhanced endomyocardial layer, and 3. overlying apical thrombus. Corticosteroids may result in significant improvement of myocardial involvement.
