Abstract

Meeting abstractsEMPTY Summary Our series of 5 cases of histologically-proven Giant cell myocarditis with concurrent CMR shows a pattern of late gadolinium enhancement which tends to be widespread involving all layers of the myocardium. Figure 1 shows (a) the widespread mid-wall LGE in the left ventricle on CMR, (b) lateral wall fibrosis on the explant specimen (H&E, x20), (c) Giant cell myocarditis in pre-transplant diagnostic endomyocardial biopsy (H&E, x200) of Patient No: 4 who had CMR and who subsequently underwent cardiac transplantation. shows (a) the widespread mid-wall LGE in the left ventricle on CMR, (b) lateral wall fibrosis on the explant specimen (H&E, x20), (c) Giant cell myocarditis in pre-transplant diagnostic endomyocardial biopsy (H&E, x200) of Patient No: 4 who had CMR and who subsequently underwent cardiac transplantation.
