Disease relevance of Myocarditis

 

High impact information on Myocarditis

  • A histologic diagnosis of myocarditis was made in 63 of the patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (83 percent) [6].
  • After resolution of acute myocarditis, DC-immunized mice developed heart failure, and TLR stimulation of these mice resulted in relapse of inflammatory infiltrates [7].
  • Pancreatic expression of interferon-gamma protects mice from lethal coxsackievirus B3 infection and subsequent myocarditis [8].
  • Here we show the etiologic importance of serine elastase activity in the pathophysiology of acute viral myocarditis and the therapeutic efficacy of an elastase inhibitor [2].
  • Homozygous MIP-1 alpha mutant (-/-) mice were resistant to Coxsackievirus-induced myocarditis seen in infected wild-type (+/+) mice [9].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of Myocarditis

 

Biological context of Myocarditis

 

Anatomical context of Myocarditis

  • Restricted usage of T cell receptor V alpha-V beta genes in infiltrating cells in the hearts of patients with acute myocarditis and dilated cardiomyopathy [20].
  • Therefore, we postulate that vesnarinone exerted its beneficial effects through an inhibition of natural killer cell activity, and that it serves as an immunomodulator providing new therapeutic possibilities for the treatment of viral myocarditis and/or immunological disorders [5].
  • Clinical and prognostic significance of detection of enteroviral RNA in the myocardium of patients with myocarditis or dilated cardiomyopathy [21].
  • CONCLUSIONS: cTnI was superior to CK-MB for detection of myocyte injury in myocarditis, and cTnI elevations were substantially more common in the first month after the onset of heart failure symptoms [22].
  • These findings provide for the first time the direct evidence that the first wave of cell infiltration in hearts mainly consists of killer cells and strongly suggests that perforin plays, in part, an important role in myocardial cell damage involved in acute viral myocarditis [23].
