DOI: 10.1080/17843286.2020.1747714
Abstract: ABSTRACT Objectives: Definite diagnosis of myocarditis requires an endomyocardial biopsy (EMB) showing an inflammatory infiltrate. However, there are important limitations on establishing the diagnosis solely upon histological criteria. The main objective of this case report… read more here.

DOI: 10.1136/heartjnl-2022-321732
Abstract: Objective Inflammatory cardiomyopathy is characterised by inflammatory infiltrates leading to cardiac injury, left ventricular (LV) dilatation and reduced LV ejection fraction (LVEF). Several viral pathogens and autoimmune phenomena may cause cardiac inflammation. The effects of… read more here.

DOI: 10.5603/cj.a2021.0166
Abstract: BACKGROUND Myocarditis is frequently associated with poor prognosis as there is no evidence-based treatment. Therefore, current international recommendations indicate that a well-designed prospective trial to confirm benefits from immunosuppressive therapy is highly warranted. The aim… read more here.
