Brief summary
Retrospective collection of clinical, histological, imaging data regarding patients with acute histologically-proven eosinophilic myocarditis.
Detailed description
Eosinophilic myocarditis (EM) is an acute life-threatening inflammatory disease of the heart. We collect clinical, histologic, laboratory, diagnostic and imaging data regarding acute EM with a histological diagnosis and symptoms onset within 30 days from first medical contact from hospitals around the world. The main objective is to investigate and describe clinical presentation, main systemic conditions associated and outcomes of the first series of patients with acute myocarditis and histological evidence of eosinophilic infiltration within myocardium.
