Abstract Aims Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) caused by viral myocarditis and autoimmune processes is a frequent cause for heart failure. CD4+ T cells are indispensable for autoimmune myocarditis. Coronin 1 is required for peripheral T cell survival.

Microvascular obstruction in cardiac amyloidosis
Abstract Aims Cardiac amyloidosis (CA) is characterized by deposition of amyloid fibrils within the extracellular space, causing disarray of the myocardial structure and capillary architecture. This study aims to characterize the prevalence of microvascular obstruction (MVO) in patients with CA and to assess the association between MVO and prognosis ...

Abstract This clinical consensus statement revisits the role of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) as a measurement of cardiac function, a prognostic marker and a major criterion to classify patients with heart failure, and gives new advice for clinical practice.
