Giant cell myocarditis in the CMR era
Results 5 patients with histologically-proven GCM had CMR performed with 2 having repeat CMR. 4 out of the 5 patients were in cardiogenic shock at the time of biopsy (Patients No: 1, 2, 4 and 5). Most patients were initially too unwell for CMR. For the 5 patients, their times from presentation at our institution to time of endomyocardial biopsy (and initiation of treatment soon after) were 0, 3...
متن کاملDiagnostic accuracy of CMR in biopsy-proven acute myocarditis.
Heart failure is a leading problem in clinical cardiology. The causes are diverse, and treatment must be tailored according to underlying mechanisms. Inflammatory causes are a particular challenge. With their study, reported in this issue of iJACC, Francone et al. (2) intend to narrow the gap in our current knowledge regarding the diagnostic workup of inflammatory heart disease, particularly as...
متن کاملTime course of eosinophilic myocarditis visualized by CMR
We report the diagnostic potential of cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) to visualize the time course of eosinophilic myocarditis upon successful treatment. A 50-year-old man was admitted with a progressive heart failure. Endomyocardial biopsies were taken from the left ventricle because of a white blood cell count of 17000/mm3 with 41% eosinophils. Histological evaluation revealed endomyo...

متن کاملDiagnostic performance of CMR imaging compared with EMB in patients with suspected myocarditis.
OBJECTIVES The goal of this study was to assess the diagnostic performance of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) compared with endomyocardial biopsy in patients with suspected acute myocarditis (AMC) and chronic myocarditis (CMC). BACKGROUND Several studies have reported an encouraging diagnostic performance of CMR in myocarditis. However, the comparison of CMR with clinical data only and the u...
