Figure 3 Antimyosin scintigraphy and separate analysis of histologic and immunohistologic findings in the endomyocardial biopsy in 65 patients with clinically suspected myocarditis. AMS = antimyosin scintigraphy. + = positive antimyosin scan with clear antimyosin antibody uptake in the ventricular wall. – = negative antimyosin scan with no clear antimyosin antibody uptake in the ventricular wall. Histo = results of histologic analysis of the endomyocardial biopsy; acute MC = acute myocarditis; bord MC = borderline myocarditis; no MC = no myocarditis. ImHisto = results of immunohistologic analysis of the endomyocardial biopsy; lymph MC = lymphocytic myocarditis; no MC = no myocarditis.
