Despite intensification of immunosuppression, the 5-year overall survival rate from IIM diagnosis was 84%, and the 5-year overall survival rate from myocarditis diagnosis was 53%. Systolic dysfunction (LVEF < 40%) at final evaluation was observed in all expired patients (n = 6). Conclusion. ...
survival andleft ventricular functionin 21 children treated with IVIG. Haque and colleagues49also demonstrated a highersurvival ratebut no significant difference in left ventricular function in a sample of 12 pediatric patients treated. However, arandomized control trialof 62 adults did not show a ...
In a study of patients with giant cell myocarditis, 89% of patients either died or underwent transplantation, with median survival from symptom onset to death or transplantation being only 5.5 months.[24] A study by Klugman et al reported a 92% survival rate among 216 pediatric patients with ...
survival [1]. In patients who require long-term support, ventricular assist devices (VADs), such as the Berlin Heart EXCOR, are a more chronic form of support for patients who will need a bridge to transplantation [1,35]. Newer support devices, such as Impella (Abiomed, Danvers, MA, US...
High-dose intravenous gamma globulin (2 g/kg given over the first 24 hours) in the setting of acute myocarditis may improve ventricular function and survival.18 The use of immunosuppressive agents such as steroids or cyclosporine in acute myocarditis is controversial, and therefore should not be ...
Assuero Giorgetti 664Accesses Abstract Myocarditis is an inflammatory condition affecting the myocardium, variably caused by infectious agents, autoimmune conditions, or reactions to exogenous/endogenous substances. The exact incidence of myocarditis is unknown. The clinical presentation is very heterogeneous an...
Similarly, no children in our study required a permanent pacemaker or a heart transplant, and the survival rate was 87% for children with arrhythmia treated with ECMO. Currently, no consensus has reached regarding the indications of ECMO in patients with AFM. To identify patients who may benefit...

Upregulation ofAnkrd1, a myocyte survival factor, occurs during late-stage heart ...
The extent of myocardial LGE is also inversely related to survival free of transplantation and life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias in CS. In 59 patients with CS (38 women, mean age 46 ± 10 years), the extent of myocardial LGE, measured as a percentage of LV mass; the LV and RV volu...
