“…2 Only a few cases have been described so far, and the definitive histopathologic diagnosis was achieved mostly after surgical procedures. 2 , 3 Here we present a patient with atrial GCM and an accurate diagnostic pathway, managed primarily with CMR and confirmed by interventional biopsy, followed by selective treatment with prednisolone that led to a full recovery.…”

We present a patient with acute heart failure and new onset atrial fibrillation secondary to giant cell myocarditis with lone atrial involvement. The diagnosis was managed with cardiac magnetic resonance and confirmed by interventionally guided biopsy. In the future, diagnosis could be managed noninvasively for this rare entity as the gold standard. ( Level of Difficulty: Advanced. )

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 clinicopathological entity distinct from classical GCM. As described by retrievable case reports, although its histopathological manifestations are highly similar to those of classical GCM, this entity is characterized by preserved left ventricular function and atrial arrhythmias, without ventricular arrhythmias. aGCM tends to show benign disease progression with a better clinical prognosis compared with the rapid course and poor prognosis of vGCM. We report a patient with aGCM with a history of renal abscess whose persistent myocardial injury considered to be associated with a history of renal abscess. Infection could be a potential trigger for the development of aGCM in this patient. An extensive literature review was also performed and the following three aspects were summarized: (1) Epidemiology and histopathological characteristics of aGCM; (2) The role of imaging in the evaluation of aGCM; (3) Diagnostic points and therapeutic decisions in aGCM.
