High Perforin‐Positive Cardiac Cell Infiltration and Male Sex Predict Adverse Long‐Term Mortality in Patients With Inflammatory Cardiomyopathy

High Perforin‐Positive Cardiac Cell Infiltration and Male Sex Predict Adverse Long‐Term Mortality in Patients With Inflammatory Cardiomyopathy

BackgroundThe authors analyzed the effects of perforin‐dependent infiltration on long‐term mortality in patients with inflammatory cardiomyopathy (CMi). We previously demonstrated that left ventricular function deteriorates and progresses to substantial cardiac dysfunction in patients with perforin‐...
