Can you tell me is giant cell myocarditis curable?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not really: Very rare condition that requires highly specialized doctors and hospital to treat. Usually is treated with meds to suppress immune system and if fails then heart transplantation is required. Diagnosis is made by a biopsy of the heart. Symptoms are shortness of breath, chest pain, swelling, palpitations, fainting spells. Best advice: highly specialized hospital for heart diseases
