Myocarditis and Chronic Inflammatory Cardiomyopathy, from Acute Inflammation to Chronic Inflammatory Damage: An Update on Pathophysiology and Diagnosis. [PDF]
Acute myocarditis covers a wide spectrum of clinical presentations, from uncomplicated myocarditis to severe forms complicated by hemodynamic instability and ventricular arrhythmias; however, all these forms are characterized by acute myocardial inflammation.

Management of Acute Myocarditis and Chronic Inflammatory Cardiomyopathy: An Expert Consensus Document. [PDF]
Myocarditis is an inflammatory disease of the heart that may occur because of infections, immune system activation, or exposure to drugs. The diagnosis of myocarditis has changed due to the introduction of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. We present an expert consensus document aimed to summarize the common terminology related to myocarditis ...

Molecular mechanisms behind progressing chronic inflammatory dilated cardiomyopathy [PDF]
Inflammatory dilated cardiomyopathy (iDCM) is a common debilitating disease with poor prognosis that often leads to heart failure and may require heart transplantation. The aim of this study was to evaluate sera and biopsy samples from chronic iDCM patients, and to investigate molecular mechanism associated with left ventricular remodeling and disease ...

Pathogenesis of chronic Chagas cardiomyopathy: the role of coronary microvascular derangements [PDF]
There is ample experimental and clinical evidence of functional and structural microvascular abnormalities occurring in patients with Chagas cardiomyopathy, possibly due to the inflammatory process and/or autonomic disturbances caused by Trypanosoma ...

Biomarkers in Acute Myocarditis and Chronic Inflammatory Cardiomyopathy: An Updated Review of the Literature. [PDF]
Myocarditis is a disease caused by cardiac inflammation that can progress to dilated cardiomyopathy, heart failure, and eventually death. Several etiologies, including autoimmune, drug-induced, and infectious, lead to inflammation, which causes damage to the myocardium, followed by remodeling and fibrosis.

Molecular mechanisms within chronic virus-positive and inflammatory dilated cardiomyopathy [PDF]
Despite intensive search for new therapeutic interventions, dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) remains the major cause of heart failure in the patients of relatively young age who eventually require heart transplantation, however many patients parish before a donor heart becomes available.
