Key result
CMR and simultaneous inflammatory and injury biomarkers show promise for diagnosing autoimmune myocarditis.
Why the study?
Autoimmune myocarditis develops due to heterogeneous causes including viral infections, systemic autoimmune diseases, immune checkpoint inhibitors, and virus vaccines, with disease type and severity influenced by host genetic factors.
