Myocardial Immunocompetent Cells and Macrophage Phenotypes as Histopathological Surrogates for Diagnosis of Cardiac Sarcoidosis in Japanese

Abstract

Increased number of DC and decreased M2 among all macrophages in nongranuloma sections of myocardium showed high specificity for CS diagnosis, suggesting DC and macrophage phenotypes as histopathological surrogates for the diagnosis of CS.
