Journal ArticleDOI

High prevalence of viral genomes and multiple viral infections in the myocardium of adults with "idiopathic" left ventricular dysfunction.

TL;DR: Viral genomes were frequently detected in EMBs of patients with systolic left ventricular dysfunction, suggesting that myocardial persistence of various viruses may play a role in the pathogenesis of DCM far more frequently than suspected so far.
Journal ArticleDOI

Viral Persistence in the Myocardium Is Associated With Progressive Cardiac Dysfunction

TL;DR: In this first biopsy-based analysis of the course of viral heart disease, it is shown that EV, ADV, PVB19, and HHV6 persistence detected in the myocardium of patients with LV dysfunction was associated with a progressive impairment of LVEF, whereas spontaneous viral elimination wasassociated with a significant improvement in LV function.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interferon-β Treatment Eliminates Cardiotropic Viruses and Improves Left Ventricular Function in Patients With Myocardial Persistence of Viral Genomes and Left Ventricular Dysfunction

TL;DR: A 6 months of IFN-&bgr; treatment was safe in patients with myocardial enteroviral or adenoviral persistence and LV dysfunction and resulted in elimination of viral genomes and improved LV function.
Journal ArticleDOI

Suspected chronic myocarditis at cardiac MR: diagnostic accuracy and association with immunohistologically detected inflammation and viral persistence.

TL;DR: In patients clinically suspected of having CMC, increased gRE and ER indicating inflammation were common findings that could be confirmed at immunohistologic analysis, whereas LE had low sensitivity and accuracy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Immunohistological evidence for a chronic intramyocardial inflammatory process in dilated cardiomyopathy.

TL;DR: Nearly half the patients with DCM had increased T lymphocyte density and immune activation of endothelial and interstitial cells in their cardiac biopsies, indicating a chronic autoimmune process is still active within the myocardium in a significant percentage of patients withDCM.
