Response of recurrent giant cell myocarditis in a transplanted heart to intensive immunosuppression.

abstract：Aims:Primary prevention implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) are established therapy for reducing mortality in patients with left ventricular systolic dysfunction and ischaemic heart disease (IHD). However, their efficacy in patients without IHD has been controversial. We undertook a meta-analysis of the tota...
