Key result
Patients with acute perimyocarditis exhibited increased OKIAI-positive cells, whereas those with dilated cardiomyopathy showed increased OKMI-positive cells, alongside the presence of antimyolemmal antibodies.

These markers may aid immunologic phenotyping in myocarditis; hypothesis-generating for subtype-specific mechanisms, not yet guiding practice.
The study identifies specific immunologic cellular changes and cross-reactive antimyolemmal antibodies that may have pathogenetic relevance in perimyocarditis and dilated cardiomyopathy.
Bernhard Maisch (1986) conducted a review in Perimyocarditis, postmyocarditic heart muscle disease, and dilated cardiomyopathy. Patients with acute perimyocarditis exhibited increased OKIAI-positive cells, whereas those with dilated cardiomyopathy showed increased OKMI-positive cells, alongside the presence of antimyolemmal antibodies.
