In thisposition statement of the ESC Working Group on Myocardial and Pericardial Diseases an expert consensus group reviewsthe current
knowledge on clinical presentation, diagnosis and treatment of myocarditis, and proposesnew diagnostic criteria for clinically suspected myo-
carditis and its distinct biopsy-proven pathogenetic forms. The aims are to bridge the gap between clinical and tissue-based diagnosis, to
improve management and provide acommon reference point for future registries and multicentre randomised controlled trials of aetiology-
driven treatment in inflammatory heart muscle disease.- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -Keywor ds Myocarditis † Cardiomyopathy † Diagnosis † Therapy

Take-home message: the future
• Promote a European Myocarditis Treatment Trial
– multicentre
– placebo-controlled
– double-blind
– randomised
– viral and autoimmune diagnosed according to the ESC WG Task Force criteria.
