Abstract
Summary: Although many similarities exist between the Churg-Strauss syndrome and the hypereosinophilic syndrome, these two disorders have hitherto been characterized by different types of cardiac disease. Two cases of the Churg-Strauss syndrome are described where the typical endomyocardial lesion of the hypereosinophilic syndrome dominated the clinical picture.Keywords
