TL;DR: The aims are to bridge the gap between clinical and tissue-based diagnosis, to improve management and provide a common reference point for future registries and multicentre randomised controlled trials of aetiology-driven treatment in inflammatory heart muscle disease.

TL;DR: Intrapericardials treatment with cisplatin appeared to successfully prevent recurrences of neoplastic pericardial effusion, and the treatment was more successful in lung than in breast cancer patients.

TL;DR: The aim of the present study was to determine the prevalence and spectrum of mutations in both genes in German HCM and DCM patients and to establish novel genotype‐to‐phenotype correlations.

TL;DR: It was remarkable that four mutations represent LMNA hot spots, which are important for lamin B interaction and lamin A/C dimerization in DCM patients with LMNA mutations.

TL;DR: It is shown in a well‐characterized subset of heart failure patients with clinically suspected and biopsy‐confirmed myocarditis that elevated sera sST2 is associated with an increased risk ofheart failure based on New York Heart Association class in men ≤50 years old.
