Myocarditis: Pathologist's perspective
Journal of the Practice of Cardiovascular Sciences, 2015 Myocarditis is a challenging diagnosis for both clinician and pathologist due to the extreme diversity of clinical presentation and low sensitivity of detection of myocarditis in the endomyocardial samples. The exact incidence of myocarditis is still not
