Eosinophilic myocarditis during treatment of acute myeloid leukaemia: cardiac magnetic resonance in the very early phase mimicking triple-vessel coronary artery disease: a case report.

Chemotherapy-induced massive eosinophilia can cause widespread coronary micro-vascular infiltration mimicking severe triple-vessel CAD. Early CMR did not evaluate tissue composition, and EM was not considered which delayed adequate treatment. A complete CMR assessment is key to establish the correct diagnosis.
