From Inflammation to Inheritance: Rethinking Myocarditis as the First Signal of Desmosomal Cardiomyopathy

2026-03-10

Abstract excerpt

Acute myocarditis has traditionally been regarded as an acquired inflammatory disorder of the myocardium, most commonly triggered by viral infection or immune-mediated injury. However, growing evidence suggests that in a subset of patients, myocarditis may represent the initial clinical manifestation of an underlying genetic cardiomyopathy rather than a purely inflammatory disease. Recent advances in molecular gen...
