Influenza virus replication in cardiomyocytes drives heart dysfunction and fibrosis
2021-10-28
Abstract excerpt
Cardiac dysfunction is a common extrapulmonary complication of severe influenza virus infection. Prevailing models propose that influenza-associated heart dysfunction is indirectly triggered by cytokine mediated cardiotoxicity downstream of the inflamed lung, rather than by direct infection of cardiac tissue. To test the etiology of cardiac dysfunction resulting from influenza virus infection, we generated a novel...
