Changes in Cardiac Function Following Fulminant Myocarditis.

Article Synopsis
- This study investigates myocardial dysfunction in patients with fulminant myocarditis using data from a nationwide registry in Japan, focusing on changes in cardiac function over time.
- It included 214 patients, analyzing left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) at hospital admission, discharge, and one year post-discharge, noting significant improvements in LVEF.
- Results indicate that patients with reduced LVEF (<50%) at discharge faced a much higher risk of death or heart transplantation compared to those with preserved LVEF (≥50%), highlighting the importance of cardiac function for prognosis.
Echocardiography in inflammatory heart disease: A comparison of giant cell myocarditis, cardiac sarcoidosis, and acute non-fulminant myocarditis.

Department of Clinical Physiology, Sahlgrenska University Hospital, Gothenburg, Sweden.
Background: Giant cell myocarditis (GCM) and cardiac sarcoidosis (CS) are, in contrast to acute non-fulminant myocarditis (ANFM), rare inflammatory diseases of the myocardium with poor prognosis. Although echocardiography is the first-line diagnostic tool in these patients, their echocardiographic appearance has so far not been systematically studied.
Methods: We assessed a total of 71 patients with endomyocardial biopsy-proven GCM (n = 21), and CS (n = 25), as well as magnetic resonance-verified ANFM (n = 25).

Background: Primary pericardial mesothelioma is an extremely rare disease. Prognosis is poor, with little effects of chemo- or radio-therapy. The majority of cases is diagnosed at autopsy.

Minimal change disease (MCD) is a well-known cause of fulminant acute nephrotic syndrome (NS) and has been associated with thrombotic complications. We report the case of a 51-year-old woman with previous biopsy-proven MCD in remission who presented with worsening headache and acute confusion shortly after a relapse of the NS and was diagnosed with cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) complicated by intracranial hemorrhage and midline shift. One month prior, she had been initiated on an oral contraceptive agent during remission of the NS.
