Underdiagnosed Viral Infections in Heart Failure: Metagenomic Sequencing Reveals Association with Left Ventricular Dysfunction
2025-11-17
Abstract excerpt
<h4>BACKGROUND</h4> Viral infections are a major cause of inflammatory heart disease, but conventional polymerase chain reaction (PCR) often fails to detect the causative pathogens, limiting diagnostic and therapeutic decisions. We investigated whether targeted metagenomic next-generation sequencing (NGS) improves virus detection in endomyocardial biopsies (EMB) compared to standard PCR, and examined the clinical...
