Immune mechanisms of group B coxsackievirus induced viral myocarditis [PDF]
Viral myocarditis is known to be a primary cause of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) that can lead to heart failure and sudden cardiac death and is invariably caused by myocardial viral infection following active inflammatory destruction of the myocardium ...

The protective effects of ivabradine in preventing progression from viral myocarditis to dilated cardiomyopathy [PDF]
To study the beneficial effects of ivabradine in dilated cardiomyopathy mice, which evolved from coxsackievirus B3-induced chronic viral myocarditis. Four-to-five-week-old male balb/c mice were inoculated intraperitoneally with coxsackievirus B3 (Strain ...

Myocarditis, Disseminated Infection, and Early Viral Persistence Following Experimental Coxsackievirus B Infection of Cynomolgus Monkeys [PDF]
Coxsackievirus B (CVB) infection is a common cause of acute viral myocarditis. The clinical presentation of myocarditis caused by this enterovirus is highly variable, ranging from mildly symptoms to complete hemodynamic collapse.

Protective role of the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway in a mouse model of viral myocarditis. [PDF]
Activation of the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway, which relies on the α7nAchR (alpha 7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor), has been shown to decrease proinflammatory cytokines.

In vivo delivery of adenoviral vector containing interleukin-17 receptor a reduces cardiac remodeling and improves myocardial function in viral myocarditis leading to dilated cardiomyopathy. [PDF]
Th17 cells have been implicated in the pathogenesis of myocarditis. Interleukin (IL)-17A produced by Th17 cells is dispensable for viral myocarditis but essential for the progression to dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM).

Loss of TRIM29 mitigates viral myocarditis by attenuating PERK-driven ER stress response in male mice [PDF]
Viral myocarditis, an inflammatory disease of the myocardium, is a significant cause of sudden death in children and young adults. The current coronavirus disease 19 pandemic emphasizes the need to understand the pathogenesis mechanisms and potential ...

COVID-19 Associated Acute Viral Myocarditis and Thyroid Gland Follicular Neoplasm in a Hemodialysis Patient [PDF]
Since the first cases were reported in Wuhan, China, COVID-19 has spread swiftly worldwide and is caused by SARS-CoV-2. The development of myocardial injury is associated with significantly worse clinical course and increased mortality.
