Announcing a new article publication for Cardiovascular Innovations and Applications journal. Fulminant myocarditis (FM) is associated with high mortality and an unfavorable long-term prognosis. However, noninvasive, rapid diagnostic and monitoring methods for FM are lacking.
This article details the case of a patient diagnosed with FM through a comprehensive assessment involving typical clinical symptoms, laboratory analyses, echocardiographic evidence, and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) findings. Before the patient underwent CMR, optical pumped magnetometer magnetocardiography (OPM-MCG) revealed abnormalities characteristic of substantial myocardial injury. After invasive coronary angiography, the patient’s coronary arteries were determined not to exhibit significant stenosis. Additionally, a myocardial bridge was observed in the middle segment of the anterior descending branch of the left coronary artery. Over a 7-month follow-up, the patient’s symptoms showed marked improvement, and the OPM-MCG eventually normalized, aligning with the findings indicated by the CMR.
OPM-MCG is a valuable tool for therapy monitoring in FMs, offering a safe, non-invasive, and highly effective test for ancillary diagnostics and long-term prognostic follow-up. Additionally, MCG may potentially assist in clinical decision-making regarding the need for further interventions in patients with myocardial bridge.

Testimonios

We have used AlphaGalileo since its foundation but frankly we need it more than ever now to ensure our research news is heard across Europe, Asia and North America. As one of the UK’s leading research universities we want to continue to work with other outstanding researchers in Europe. AlphaGalileo helps us to continue to bring our research story to them and the rest of the world.
Peter Dunn, Director of Press and Media Relations at the University of Warwick
AlphaGalileo has helped us more than double our reach at SciDev.Net. The service has enabled our journalists around the world to reach the mainstream media with articles about the impact of science on people in low- and middle-income countries, leading to big increases in the number of SciDev.Net articles that have been republished.

AlphaGalileo is a great source of global research news. I use it regularly.
