Abstract

Ischemic heart disease can be caused by multiple factors. However, epidemiological studies have evidenced an association between hypereosinophilia and acute coronary syndrome, most frequently observed in the Kounis and Churg-Strauss syndromes. We here report the case of a 37-year-old man, who was admitted to our hospital for acute coronary syndrome, complicated by hypokinetic cardiac arrest with severe hypereosinophilia.
