Lymphocytic myocarditis is the most common form of inflammatory myocardial disease. However, its histopathological diagnosis has been burdened by considerable subjectivity until recently. In 2025, the Society for Cardiovascular Pathology (SCVP) and the Association for European Cardiovascular Pathology (AECVP) published a two-part document entitled the "Seaport Criteria," which introduces new diagnostic approaches for endomyocardial biopsies and nonbiopsy specimens - surgical and autopsy material. This article summarizes the key elements of these documents, including practical recommendations for routine histopathological diagnosis.
