This case proves that myocardial involvement due to inflammation can be detected at subclinical stages by speckle tracking echocardiography. Acute deterioration of left and right ventricular function and the early response to prednisolone therapy can objectively be monitored. In addition, alterations of effective stroke volume can quantitatively be assessed by 3D right ventricular volumetry with exclusion of thrombus formation in the volume measurements.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>This case underlines the importance of 3D echocardiography and deformation imaging as a helpful diagnostic tool in disease management in the acute phase of Loeffler endocarditis at thrombotic stage.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1007\/s10554-024-03147-2","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,23]],"date-time":"2024-05-23T08:02:33Z","timestamp":1716451353000},"page":"2007-2013","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Echocardiographic monitoring of myocardial function in a female patient with right heart Loeffler endocarditis at thrombotic stage after Epstein-Barr-virus infection"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"40","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0332-900X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Joscha","family":"Kandels","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"J","family":"Pawluczuk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3451-5953","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Stephan","family":"St\u00f6be","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6288-7565","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andreas","family":"Hagendorff","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,23]]},"reference":[{"issue":"14","key":"3147_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1233","DOI":"10.1016\/S0828-282X(06)70965-5","volume":"22","author":"AM Al Ali","year":"2006","unstructured":"Al Ali AM, Straatman LP, Allard MF, Ignaszewski AP (2006) Eosinophilic myocarditis: Case series and review of literature.
