Background Inflammatory cardiomyopathy is one of the most common causes sudden cardiac death in young adults. Diagnosis inflammatory remains challenging, and better monitoring tools are needed. We present magnetocardiography as a method to diagnose myocardial inflammation monitor treatment response. Methods Results A total 233 patients were enrolled, with mean age 45 (±18) years, 105 (45%) women. The primary analysis included 209 adult subjects, whom 66 (32%) diagnosed cardiomyopathy, 17...
BACKGROUND: Despite previous histopathologic evidence for its presence, the role of myocardial inflammation in development and progression cardiac transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR-CA) remains insufficiently understood. Thus, this study sought to characterize prevalence potential prognostic implications ATTR-CA. METHODS: A retrospective observational including patients with ATTR-CA diagnosed by endomyocardial biopsy was conducted. Myocardial through a review routine reports. Baseline...
Identification of factors that lead to the severe clinical course COVID-19 is crucial for timely allocation resources. The purpose this study was evaluate possible sex differences in cardiac injury associated with HLA-C*04:01. High sensitivity troponin T on admission (hs-TnTa) and maximum high (hs-TnTmax) were used assess patients (n = 435). We tested association elevated hs-TnT HLA-C* 04:01 evaluated potential sex-specific differences. An between hs-TnTa severity identified. In addition,...
