1. Atrial Giant Cell Myocarditis as a Cause of Heart Failure

Author

Abstract

We present a patient with acute heart failure and new onset atrial fibrillation secondary to giant cell myocarditis with lone atrial involvement. The diagnosis was managed with cardiac magnetic resonance and confirmed by interventionally guided biopsy. In the future, diagnosis could be managed noninvasively for this rare entity as the gold standard. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.), Graphical abstract

Abstract

We report a case of giant cell myocarditis in a 76-year-old patient managed with combined immunosuppression and biventricular intravascular microaxial blood pumps. This case highlights a feasible approach for managing such patients who are not candidates for transplantation or durable ventricular assist devices.

Abstract

We describe a patient with ventricular tachycardia and complete atrioventricular block. Remarkable thinning of the basal interventricular septum preceded left ventricular dysfunction. Endomyocardial biopsy demonstrated giant cell myocarditis. The patient received combined immunosuppressive therapy and a cardioverter-defibrillator. Eligibility screening for heart transplantation was initiated.

4. Fulminant Giant Cell Myocarditis Requiring Bridge With Mechanical Circulatory Support to Heart Transplantation.

Author

Brailovsky Y, Masoumi A, Bijou R, Oliveros E, Sayer G, Takeda K, and Uriel N

Abstract

Giant cell myocarditis is a rare cause of cardiogenic shock requiring a high index of suspicion, rapid immunosuppressive therapy, and mechanical circulatory support. We present the case of a patient with giant cell myocarditis who underwent a successful bridge with four different types of mechanical circulatory support devices to heart transplantation.

We describe a patient with ventricular tachycardia and complete atrioventricular block. Remarkable thinning of the basal interventricular septum preceded left ventricular dysfunction. Endomyocardial biopsy demonstrated giant cell myocarditis. The patient received combined immunosuppressive therapy and a cardioverter-defibrillator. Eligibility screening for heart transplantation was initiated. ( Level of Difficulty: Advanced. )., (© 2020 The Authors.)
