- patients with suspected CS due to the following presentations:
- age < 65 years and new higher degree AV block, causative coronary artery disease excluded
- age < 65 years and new ventricular tachycardia, causative coronary artery disease excluded
- age < 65 years and ventricular tachycardia, causative coronary artery disease excluded

- C) Japanese Society of Nuclear Cardiology (JSNC)
- Patients whit histological confirmation from myocardial tissue fullfil will be defined as proven CS. (Group 1)
- Patients with clinical and imaging findings highly suggesting CS, but without histological confirmation from myocardial biopsy will be defined as probable CS (Group 2)
- Patients who do not fullfil the criteria or exhibiting findings suggesting an alternative, more likely diagnosis, will be considered as unlikely CS (Group 3)
You may not qualify if…
