DOI: 10.1002/ehf2.13163
Abstract: The role of immunosuppressive therapy (IT) in paediatric autoimmune/immune‐mediated myocarditis remains poorly defined. To explore its role, we present a series of three consecutive paediatric patients with biopsy‐proven, virus negative, autoimmune/immune‐mediated myocarditis, with distinct clinical… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ehf2.14360
Abstract: A 54-year old patient with metastatic melanoma presented with asymptomatic myositis and myocarditis after combined immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) therapy (anti-programmed cell death receptor-1, anti-lymphocyte activating gene-3, and anti-indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase-1). The diagnosis was based on… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ejhf.2496
Abstract: AIMS Outcome predictors in myocarditis are not well defined; we aimed at identifying predictors of death, heart transplantation (HTx) and relapse before the introduction of immunosuppression. METHODS AND RESULTS From 1992 to 2012 we consecutively… read more here.
