Role of Treg cell subsets in cardiovascular disease pathogenesis and potential therapeutic targets
Front Immunol. 2024 Mar 15;15:1331609. doi: 10.3389/fimmu.2024.1331609. eCollection 2024.ABSTRACTIn the genesis and progression of cardiovascular diseases involving both innate and adaptive immune responses, inflammation plays a pivotal and dual role. Studies in experimental animals indicate that certain immune responses are protective, while others exacerbate the disease. T-helper (Th) 1 cell immune responses are recognized as key drivers of inflammatory progression in cardiovascular diseases. Consequently, the CD4+CD25+FOXP3+ regulatory T cells (Tregs) are gaining increasing attention for their roles in inflammation and ...

Fulminant Lymphocytic Myocarditis with Acute Biventricular Failure: The Role of Mechanical Circulatory Support

The Great Masquerader: Lymphocytic Myocarditis Masking as Cardiac Sarcoidosis: A Case of Severe Non-Ischemic Cardiomyopathy and Ventricular Tachycardia Storm
Introduction: Among the several etiologies leading to non-ischemic cardiomyopathies, lymphocytic myocarditis and cardiac sarcoidosis may be particularly difficult to distinguish due to similarities in clinical presentation and associated findings in advanced imaging modalities. Here, we discuss a case of severe non-ischemic cardiomyopathy caused by lymphocytic myocarditis initially diagnosed and managed as cardiac sarcoidosis.

One of a Kind: A Rare Case of Cardiac Transplantation in a Patient with Eosinophilic Endomyocardial Fibrosis
Introduction: Eosinophilic myocarditis is an inflammatory cardiomyopathy characterized by eosinophilic infiltration of the myocardium leading to fibrosis. It can be seen in malignancy and immune-mediated disorders. Patients can present acutely with myocarditis or chronically as restrictive cardiomyopathy (RC), known as Loeffler ’s endocarditis (eosinophilic endomyocardial fibrosis). The symptoms may be non-specific, and a definitive diagnosis is made with cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging (cMRI) or endomyocardial biopsy. (Source: The Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation)

Outcomes of Heart Transplant Recipients with Giant Cells or Eosinophils on Endomyocardial Biopsy
Purpose: Allograph rejection after orthotopic heart transplant (OHT) remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Giant cell or eosinophilic myocarditis after OHT is associated with acute rejection and poor outcomes. The significance of giant cells (GC) or eosinophils (EOS) on endomyocardial biopsy (EMB) in the absence of higher-grade rejection remains uncertain. We analyzed the outcomes from our center.

Clinical Features to Predict Weaning from Ventricular Assist Device in Pediatric Patients with Myocarditis
Purpose: Myocarditis in pediatric patients can lead to severe heart failure, necessitating ventricular assist devices (VAD) which might serve as a bridge to transplant or as a temporary circulatory support until myocardial recovery. We aimed to identify differences in the clinical and diagnostic findings at initial admission between pediatric patients who could be successfully weaned from VAD and those who could not.

Role of CCRL2 in the Pathogenesis of Experimental Autoimmune Myocarditis via P21-Activated Kinase 1/NOD-Like Receptor Protein 3 Pathway
This study aims to elucidate the effect of Chemokine (C C motif) receptor-like 2 (CCRL2) in experimental autoimmune myocarditis (EAM) occurrence and its potential regulatory mechanisms.EAM was simulated in a mouse model injected with α-myosin-heavy chain. The changes on EAM were assessed through histological staining of heart tissues, including measuring cardiac troponin I (cTnI), proinflammatory cytokines, transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) assay, and cardiac function. Then, the heart tissues from the EAM mouse model and control groups were analyzed through transcriptome sequencing to identify the differ...
