CHORDAL RUPTURE CORRELATES WITH ELASTIC FIBRIL FRAGMENTATION AND DISORGANIZATION OF THE POSTERIOR LEAFLET IN MYXOMATOUS MITRAL VALVE PROLAPSE: IMPLICATIONS FOR LEAFLET STABILITY AND DISEASE PROGRESSION
GENOTYPE-DEPENDENT IMPAIRMENT OF HEMOGLOBIN CLEARANCE INCREASES OXIDATIVE STRESS AND INFLAMMATION LEADING TO ACCELERATED NEOVASCULARIZATION IN HUMAN DIABETIC ATHEROSCLEROSIS
Inflammatory Cardiomyopathy
Inflammatory cardiomyopathy is a broad term encompassing any disease leading to myocardial inflammation with associated cardiac dysfunction. While endomyocardial biopsy remains the gold standard for diagnosis, noninvasive imaging techniques, such as cardiac magnetic resonance imaging and positron emission tomography, have become powerful tools to facilitate the identification of underlying myocardial inflammation. This review presents a series of clinical cases with some common etiologies of inflammatory cardiomyopathy, including diagnosis and management
