Myocarditis is an inflammatory disorder of the myocardium that is associated with cardiac dysfunction. Many viruses have been implicated as causes of myocarditis, most commonly adenoviruses and enteroviruses, such as the coxsackieviruses. Viral myocarditis has been recognized as a cause of congestive ...
Myocarditis is an inflammatory disorder of the myocardium that commonly results from viral infection, systemic immune-mediated diseases or immunomodulatory treatments7. It occurs more commonly in men, which may be a consequence of different effects of sex hormones on the immune system8. Several cases...
Myocarditis is an inflammatory disease of the heart that can cause devastating disease in otherwise healthy children. Inciting agents such as viral infection cause direct damage to the myocardial cells, which triggers an inflammatory response that enhances myocardial toxicity and associated morbidity. Seve...
Myocarditis is an inflammatory cardiac disease that is predominantly caused by viruses, but other infectious agents such as bacteria, protozoa and fungi can also lead to this disorder [1]. During the current COVID-19 pandemic, the subject of myocarditis has started to attract more attention. CO...
Myocarditis is an inflammatory disease of the myocardium that causes necrosis and/or degeneration of adjacent myocytes not typical of the ischaemic damage associated with coronary artery disease (CAD). Cases that are definitively diagnosed as myocarditis are most commonly a result of a viral infection...
Acute myocarditis is an inflammatory disorder of the myocardium associated with cardiac dysfunction. The definition of myocarditis varies, but the Dallas criteria for myocarditis requires an inflammatory infiltrate and associated myocyte... PT Lee,A Japp,JR Payne - 《Scott Med J》 被引量: 2发表: ...
Myocarditis, also called inflammatory cardiomyopathy is a medical condition that involves inflammation of the cardiac muscle of the heart called myocardium, specifically the middle layer of the cardiac muscle. Inflammation is the body's natural response to an injury or harmful stimulus such as bacteria...
is an inflammatory disease affecting the heart muscle (or myocardium). It is most often caused by infections, immune diseases, or toxins. This inflammation reduces the ability of the heart muscle to contract normally. In severe cases, myocarditis can produce permanent heart damage, includingdilated...
Abstract Idiopathic giant cell myocarditis (IGCM) was first described by Saltykowlin a 37-year-old man who died suddenly after surgical drainage of an abscess. Since then, dozens of case reports and a few small series have documented that IGCM is a usually fatal disorder that generally affect...
Persistent atrial standstill complicating inflammatory myocarditis in a young boy is presented. The disease was marked by a stuttering course characterized by intermittent return of atrial rhythm in the form of atrial flutter and fibrillation until persistent standstill lasting till the last follow-up occ...
