Evaluation of Myocardial Gene Expression Profiling for Superior Diagnosis of Idiopathic Giant-Cell Myocarditis and Clinical Feasibility in a Large Cohort of Patients with Acute Cardiac Decompensation

Evaluation of Myocardial Gene Expression Profiling for Superior Diagnosis of Idiopathic Giant-Cell Myocarditis and Clinical Feasibility in a Large Cohort of Patients with Acute Cardiac Decompensation

Aims: The diagnostic approach to idiopathic giant-cell myocarditis (IGCM) is based on identifying various patterns of inflammatory cell infiltration and multinucleated giant cells (GCs) in histologic sections taken from endomyocardial biopsies (EMBs). The sampling error for detecting focally located...
