Methods: In the present retrospective histopathological study, we systematically analysed the expression of SSTR subtype 2 (SSTR2) on inflammatory cells of 33 patients with biopsy- or explant-proven myocarditis (lymphocytic myocarditis (n = 5), giant-cell myocarditis (n = 11), and cardiac sarcoidosis (n = 17)), and in eight controls (multi-organ donors) without signs of myocardial inflammation and/or scars. The gene discussed is SSTR2; the disease is myocarditis.
