The protective effects of ivabradine in preventing progression from viral myocarditis to dilated cardiomyopathy [PDF]
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2016 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 ...
