Circulation, 2009 Myocarditis is an inflammatory disease of the cardiac muscle caused by myocardial infiltration of immunocompetent cells following any kind of cardiac injury. Classic myocarditis mainly occurs as a result of the host's immune response against organisms that cause common infectious illnesses, as a manifestation of hypersensitivity or as a toxic reaction ...

Clinical Infectious Diseases, 1991
Although most cases of viral myocarditis are subclinical, some patients develop overt symptomatic disease. These patients may present with findings that range from benign myopericarditis to frank heart failure. Furthermore, a growing body of evidence links viral myocarditis with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy, sudden death, and chronic arrythmias ...

Autoimmunity in viral myocarditis
Current Opinion in Rheumatology, 2013To review how autoimmunity is induced in viral myocarditis.Clinical and experimental myocarditis follows microbial infections, but autoimmunity to cardiac antigens leads to heart failure since infected myocytes are sparse and virus clearance is rapid. In mice, CD4+ T cells specific for cardiac alpha myosin heavy chain (αMYHC) cause myocarditis and mice

Histopathology, 1990
Evidence suggests that in susceptible individuals lymphocytic myocarditis is a virus‐induced autoimmune disease which may progress to dilated cardiomyopathy. Its biopsy pathology, the application of the ‘Dallas’ criteria for diagnosis and the role of immunohistochemistry are discussed.

A Severe Case of Viral Myocarditis
The American Journal of Nursing, 1981For almost anyone, the diagnosis of viral myocarditis-inflammation of the myocardium caused by a virus-could be a threatening experience. When this disease occurs in its most serious form, however, and in a vigorous young man on the threshold of his professional career, the consequences, both physical and psychological, could be devastating.

Corticosteroids for viral myocarditis
2003Myocarditis is an uncommon heart disease. There is experimental evidence showing that autoimmune mechanisms follow viral infection, resulting in inflammation and necrosis in myocardium. However, the use of corticosteroids as immunosuppressives in this condition remains controversial.To assess the beneficial and harmful effects of treating viral ...

Viral myocarditis is the result of a viral infection that produces myocardial necrosis and triggers an immune response to eliminate the viral agent. Many pathogenic mechanisms may contribute to myocardial cell loss including the following: cytokine production contributing to disease severity; viral persistence, which may produce an autoimmune response ...
