New Echocardiographic Findings Correlate with Intramyocardial Inflammation in Endomyocardial Biopsies of Patients with Acute Myocarditis and Inflammatory Cardiomyopathy
Figure 2
Analysis of global longitudinal strain (in %) correlated with inflammation in EMB. (a) Correlation between global longitudinal strain and CD3 positive T-lymphocytes. (b) Correlation between global longitudinal strain and LFA-1 positive lymphocytes. (c) Correlation between global longitudinal strain and Mac-1 positive cells used as marker for macrophages and (d) correlation between global longitudinal strain and HLA-1 expression.
