That's the hallmark of a type three reaction, which occurs when there is accumulation of immune complexes, antigen antibody complexes, that have not been adequately cleared by innate immune cells, giving rise to an inflammatory response.  So it's immune complexes depositing in tissue, not antibodies directly attacking the heart cells themselves, which would be more of a type two pattern.
