Fulminant Giant Cell Myocarditis and Cardiogenic Shock: An Unusual Presentation of Malignant Thymoma
Malignant thymoma is rarely associated with giant cell myocarditis. We present a case study that illustrates this association and cardiogenic shock with underlying tamponade. The dramatic presentation of this scenario has not been previously described.

Comparative immunologic characterization of autoimmune giant cell myocarditis with ipilimumab
Autoimmune myocarditis is a rare but often fatal toxicity of checkpoint inhibitor immunotherapy. To improve the understanding of this complication, we performed immune profiling on post-mortem tissue from a patient with metastatic melanoma who had ...

Mononuclear cell secretome protects from experimental autoimmune myocarditis [PDF]
Aims Supernatants of serum-free cultured mononuclear cells (MNC) contain a mix of immunomodulating factors (secretome), which have been shown to attenuate detrimental inflammatory responses following myocardial ischaemia.

Overexpression of Fgl2 deteriorates the heart function of experimenta l autoimmune myocarditis rats
Studies have demonstrated that fibrinogen-like protein 2 (Fgl2) has been involved in immune and inflammatory responses which might contribute to the pathogenesis of immune-mediated diseases. Experimental autoimmune myocarditis (EAM) provided a model that
