Guest: Naveen L. Pereira, M.D.

Patients with coronary heart failure and ventricular arrhythmias can have inflammatory coronary heart illness similar to myocarditis or sarcoidosis. The analysis is often made by imaging research together with cardiac MRI and PET scans. However, it’s crucial to carried out genetic testing in such sufferers on condition that genetic cardiomyopathy can usually current as an inflammatory coronary heart illness phenotype which can have essential prognostic and therapeutic implications.
Topics Discussed:
How do inflammatory cardiomyopathies sometimes current? When do you believe you studied irritation as a reason behind cardiomyopathy?
How is the analysis sometimes made and is there a job for endomyocardial biopsy?
Why is genetic testing essential as soon as a analysis of an inflammatory cardiomyopathy is made? If the genetic take a look at is constructive in these sufferers what the medical implications?
