A geochemical basis for endomyocardial fibrosis
In a search for geochemical factors that could play a role in the pathogenesis of tropical endomyocardial fibrosis, endomyocardial tissue samples obtained from patients at necropsy or operation were analysed for major elements present in laterite and ...

Mesalazine‐Induced Myocarditis: A Challenging Diagnostic Journey
Cardiac MRI imaging showing patterns consistent with acute myocarditis. ABSTRACT Mesalazine‐induced myocarditis, though rare, should be suspected in patients presenting with acute chest pain and elevated cardiac biomarkers shortly after treatment initiation. Cardiac MRI plays a pivotal role in diagnosis. Prompt drug discontinuation often leads to rapid

Myocardial Immune Niches in Homeostasis and Inflammation
ABSTRACT The heart functions as a circulatory pump that supplies blood throughout the body. The execution of this critical function depends on the interplay between cardiomyocytes and the supportive cellular infrastructure, generated by endothelial cells, fibroblasts and distinct immune cell populations.
