In majority of cases, lung sarcoidosis is a self-limiting disease whereas cardiac involvement carries a poorer prognosis due to heart failure and malignant arrhythmias. [myocarditisfoundation.org]

The prognosis of patients with nonischemic cardiomyopathy is partly dependent on the histologic diagnosis (1). [onlinejacc.org]

For both of them the dismal prognosis can be improved by early diagnosis and tailored immunosuppressive therapy. [escardio.org]

Prognosis and Therapy: 1) Lymphocytic (Viral) Myocarditis – prognosis is variable, but many patients will spontaneously recover. The benefit of immunosuppression and IVIG is unclear, again since many patients recover on their own. [errolozdalga.com]

Conclusion: Myocardial gene expression profiling is emerging as yet another powerful tool to: 1) reach an etiological diagnosis and subsequent etiology-direct therapy, 2) reach differential diagnosis of IGCM, CS and lymphocytic myocarditis, 3) get an [escardio.org]

Coronary angiogram has a role mainly in ruling out ischemia as an etiology. Cardiac MRI is being used more and more and is good at detecting myocardial damage and edema which can point you towards myocarditis. [errolozdalga.com]

Myocarditis, defined as inflammatory disease of the myocardium, has a first phase of direct or indirect tissue damage due to infection, followed by an autoimmune phase. 3 Corticosteroids would thus be expected to affect the pathophysiological process. [elsevier.pt]
