The median duration between IIM diagnosis and myocarditis was 3 (IQR 2-9) years. The majority of patients were female (8\/14, 57%) and Black (10\/14, 71%). Antisynthetase syndrome was the most common IIM subtype (9\/14, 64%). Anti-Jo1 (n = 4) and anti-PL12 (n = 3) were the most frequent autoantibodies. At myocarditis diagnosis, most patients (11\/14, 79%) had active myositis, defined as elevated creatine kinase and\/or muscle weakness; required hospitalization (13\/14, 93%); and had reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF &lt; 50%; 10\/14, 71%). Despite intensification of immunosuppression, the 5-year overall survival rate from IIM diagnosis was 84%, and the 5-year overall survival rate from myocarditis diagnosis was 53%.
