New Echocardiographic Findings Correlate with Intramyocardial Inflammation in Endomyocardial Biopsies of Patients with Acute Myocarditis and Inflammatory Cardiomyopathy
BACKGROUND The diagnosis of acute myocarditis (AMC) and inflammatory cardiomyopathy (DCMi) can be difficult. Speckle tracking echocardiography with accurate assessments of regional contractility could have an outstanding importance for the diagnosis. METHODS AND RESULTS N = 25 patients with clinically diagnosed AMC who underwent endomyocardial biopsies (EMBs) were studied prospectively. Speck...
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 کاملVirus serology in patients with suspected myocarditis: utility or futility?
AIMS Serological analyses of viral infection in suspected myocarditis are still widely used, although convincing evidence for their value is lacking. We determined prospectively the diagnostic value of virus serology in comparison with endomyocardial biopsy (EMB) including viral genome detection and immunohistochemistry in patients with clinically suspected myocarditis. METHODS AND RESULTS Vi...
متن کاملGallium-67 imaging in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy and biopsy-proven myocarditis.
Current standards for detection of myocarditis in a clinical setting rely on endomyocardial biopsy for accurate diagnosis. With this technique a subset of patients with dilated cardiomyopathy show unsuspected myocarditis histologically. Endomyocardial biopsy, despite its specificity, may lack sensitivity due to sampling error if the inflammation is patchy or focal. Therefore, inflammation-sensi...
