Histopathology of giant-cell myocarditis, with multinucleated giant cells. H&E stain. Idiopathic giant-cell myocarditis (IGCM) is a cardiovascular disease of the muscle of the heart . The condition is rare; [2] however, it is often fatal and there is no proven cure because of the unknown nature of the disorder.
Eosinophilic myocarditis is often viewed as a disorder that has three progressive stages. The first stage of eosinophilic myocarditis involves acute inflammation and cardiac cell necrosis (i.e. areas of dead cells); it is dominated by symptoms characterized as the acute coronary syndrome such as angina, heart attack and/or congestive heart failure.
Myocarditis-myositis-myasthenia gravis overlap syndrome (IM3OS) is a rare immune-related adverse event primarily associated with the use of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). These ICIs, which have been incorporated into the treatment of various malignancies , function by activating the immune system to detect and attack cancer cells .
