Genetically determined myocarditis: clinical presentation and immunological characteristics.

Current opinion in cardiology - 1 May 2008

Caforio Alida L P, Iliceto Sabino

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Myocarditis is a clinically heterogeneous myocardial inflammatory disease, diagnosed by endomyocardial biopsy; it may be idiopathic, infectious, or autoimmune and may lead to dilated cardiomyopathy. Myocarditis and dilated cardiomyopathy represent different stages of an organ-specific autoimmune disease in genetically predisposed individuals. RECENT FINDINGS: In animal models, cell-mediated or...
