Undersøgelse hos en kardiolog, optagelse af ekkokardiogram og bestemmelse af serumtroponin bør derfor overvejes hos patienter med MDS/ MPD, som har høje eosinofiltal, før der gives imatinib.
Evaluation by a cardiology specialist, performance of an echocardiogram and determination of serum troponin should therefore be considered in patients with HES/ CEL, and in patients with MDS/ MPD associated with high eosinophil levels before imatinib is administered.
