Urges rapid CMR or biopsy in young patients with fulminant myocarditis; leaves open optimal management strategies pending larger studies.
Giant cell myocarditis is a rare, devastating disease in young individuals where timely diagnosis via cardiac magnetic resonance imaging or biopsy is critical to prevent fatal heart failure or arrhythmias.
Ali et al. (2011) studied this question. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, with or without cardiac biopsy, facilitates the timely diagnosis of giant cell myocarditis to ensure prompt, life-saving treatment is administered.
