Thomas Dure est un type ordinaire qui fait face à des problèmes ordinaires. Il vient juste de divorcer et, malgré le soutien de Fred Sanford, son avocat et ami, il accuse le coup. Quelques jours plus tard, il se réveille avec un doigt engourdi. La semaine suivante, la paralysie s'étend aux mains, puis aux bras. Petit-à-petit, ses membres sont pétrifiés. L'avis des médecins est sans appel... Que feriez-vous si vous découvriez, un beau matin, que vous vous transformez en pierre? Que décideriez-vous de faire de votre vie en apprenant le processus qui vous entraîne inéluctablement vers la mort, dans des circonstances extraordinaires? Charlie Adlard illustre dans un style épuré le récit de cet homme condamné par une maladie inconnue et incurable. Du drame personnel à la fable sociale, Joe Casey évoque, tout en sensibilité, le parcours d'une vie…

Myocarditis, the inflammation of the heart muscle, could be in some cases serious and potentially fatal disease. This book is a comprehensive compilation of studies from leading international experts on various aspects of myocarditis. The first section of the book provides a clinical perspective on the disease. It contains comprehensive reviews of the causes of myocarditis, its classification, diagnosis, and treatment. It also includes reviews of Perimyocarditis; Chagas' chronic myocarditis, and myocarditis in HIV-positive patients. The second section of the book focuses on the pathogenesis of myocarditis, discussing pathways and mechanisms activated during viral infection and host immune response during myocarditis. The third, and final, section discusses new findings in the pathogenesis that may lead to new directions for clinical diagnosis, including use of new biomarkers, and new treatments of myocarditis.

This book is an up-to-date, comprehensive, clinically oriented guide to the diagnosis and treatment of patients with myocarditis. The opening chapters address the classification, histopathology and molecular diagnosis, as well as the polymorphic clinical presentations, ranging from myocardial infarction with normal coronary arteries; arrhythmias of variable type and clinical severity and fulminant, acute, sub-acute or chronic heart failure; to life-threatening unexplained cardiogenic shock and sudden cardiac death. Including chapters from leading International experts in the field, it covers all key issues from bench to bedside. Topics presented include epidemiology, etiology, pathogenesis, clinical and diagnostic work-up, the role of endomyocardial biopsy and of non-invasive cardiac imaging, risk stratification, and cardiological and etiology-specific management and follow-up. For each topic, a comprehensive review of the current literature is provided and practical suggestions are offered for short- and long-term management. Lastly, future perspectives and gaps in the current knowledge are also addressed. The book also covers a key discovery of last the 2 decades, namely the autoimmune origin of myocarditis in a sizable proportion of patients, discussing in detail the role of immunosuppression and immunomodulation, as well as the need for a multidisciplinary approach to the disease. Mainly intended for cardiologists, general physicians, clinical immunologists and rheumatologists, it is also a valuable tool for residents in Cardiology, Internal Medicine, Clinical Immunology and Rheumatology.
