Article Synopsis
- Hypereosinophilia (HE) is characterized by an eosinophil count over 1500 cells/microL in blood tests, confirmed by either blood tests or high eosinophil percentages in bone marrow samples. Hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES) involves organ damage due to eosinophils and can be classified as primary, secondary, or idiopathic.
- Cardiac issues occur in 5% of acute cases and 20% of chronic cases of HES, presenting symptoms like heart failure and arrhythmias, but the severity of heart problems isn't always proportional to eosinophil levels.
- Diagnosis of cardiac involvement relies on advanced imaging techniques, particularly
Accuracy of mitral annular plane systolic excursion in diagnosing anthracycline-induced subclinical cardiotoxicity in patients with breast cancer - a retrospective cohort study.
Cardiooncology
November 2024
Background: The mitral annular plane systolic excursion (MAPSE) is used to analyze the left ventricle longitudinal function. However, the accuracy of MAPSE in diagnosing oncological populations is unclear. In this study, we aimed to assess the accuracy of MAPSE in diagnosing subclinical cardiotoxicity in women with breast cancer undergoing anthracycline treatment.
