Article Synopsis
- The study investigates 'hot phases' of cardiomyopathy, which involve chest pain and troponin release, and aims to distinguish this condition from acute myocarditis.
- Researchers analyzed 17 patients who had suspected 'hot-phase cardiomyopathy', assessing them through endomyocardial biopsy (EMB) and genetic tests over a median follow-up of 18 months.
- The findings revealed that while significant inflammation was rare, apoptosis was common, especially in those with genetic variants linked to cardiomyopathies, suggesting that detecting apoptosis during EMB can inform genetic testing and treatment options.
