Eosinophilic Heart Disease: A Case Report and Review of Literature (Poster).

Hypereosinophilic syndrome is a rare condition and present with nonspecific symptoms. Literature is limited. The involvement of myocardium has some peculiar features. Use of different diagnostic techniques such as echocardiography and MRI can help make the diagnosis of hypereosinophilic syndrome. We are presenting a case with review of the topic

Permanent pacing is a risk factor for the development of heart failure.

No previous study has examined the importance of right ventricular pacing as a risk factor for the development of heart failure (HF) in subjects without a history of HF. A cohort study of patients who underwent initial pacemaker implantation (n = 11,426) was conducted to test the hypothesis that patients with ventricular dyssynchrony created by permanent pacing would develop HF, as shown by new HF hospitalizations or HF-related deaths, at a higher rate than matched controls
