Atrial giant cell myocarditis with preserved left ventricular function: a case report and literature review
Abstract Giant cell myocarditis (GCM) is a rare and fatal inflammatory disorder induced by T-lymphocytes, typically affecting young adults. Generally, this disease presents with a rapidly progressive course and a very poor prognosis. In recent years, atrial GCM (aGCM) has been recognized as a clinic...
