Eosinophilic myocarditis without hypereosinophilia accompanied by giant cell infiltration
A 53-year-old woman with a history of allergic disease was admitted to our hospital because of syncope induced by sustained ventricular tachycardia. The clinical course and the laboratory data did not correspond to those of acute myocarditis. Although eosinophils in the peripheral blood count were not increased, the diagnosis of eosinophilic myocarditis was made following a right ventricular en...
متن کاملFocal necrotizing myocarditis without interstitial infiltration.
Sudden death occurred in a patient considered to have a myocardial infarction. Detailed microscopic examination revealed a focal necrotizing myocarditis without interstitial infiltration. The original connective tissue framework without collagen in many of the areas where muscle fibers disappeared precludes the term myocardial fibrosis. A pathologic classification is suggested. No adequate etio...
متن کاملGiant Cell Myocarditis
One of the possible causes of dilated cardiomyopathy is considered to be a sequel to myocarditis. Two mechanisms have been proposed in the process of progression of myocarditis into dilated cardiomyopathy: one is a persistent viral infection, and the other is an autoimmune myocardial injury. To clarify the possible part played by the autoimmune mechanism in the process, using an animal model, w...
متن کاملGiant Cell Versus Lymphocytic Myocarditis
Background. Giant cell myocarditis has rarely been diagnosed premortem, and little is known about its natural history. In addition, no comparative studies with lymphocytic myocarditis exist. Methods and Results. The clinical features, serial change in left ventricular fraction (LVEF), and outcomes of all patients with histologically verified myocarditis were retrospectively evaluated. Ten patie...
متن کاملAcute necrotising eosinophilic myocarditis.
Löffler's endocarditis is a recognised complication of diseases associated with eosinophilia. Eosinophilic heart disease is usually chronic, but there is a rare acute variety. Three patients with an unusual form of eosinophilic heart disease characterised by acute necrotising eosinophilic myocarditis after a possible initial viral infection and underlying allergic diathesis are reported. In con...
