Lymphocytic Perimyocarditis Masquerading as Steroid-Dependent Recurrent Pericarditis.
Lymphocytic Perimyocarditis Masquerading as Steroid-Dependent Recurrent Pericarditis.
- 2023
Lymphocytic myocarditis is a pattern of myocardial inflammation typically associated with viral, autoimmune, or idiopathic causes. We present a case of lymphocytic perimyocarditis masquerading as steroid-dependent recurrent pericarditis. This case shows the advantages of using multimodal cardiac imaging and endomyocardial biopsy in clarifying diagnosis in treatment-resistant cases. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.).
