Role of noninvasive antimyosin imaging in infants and children with clinically suspected myocarditis.

Unlabelled: Endomyocardial biopsy is an invasive procedure, often performed on children for the diagnosis of myocarditis, and is not without risk. Therefore, a noninvasive test of adequate diagnostic accuracy is highly desirable. We evaluated the role of antimyosin scintigraphy in infants and children with clinically suspected myocarditis.
