Background Experimental autoimmune myocarditis (EAM) is a common animal model for the
investigation of the pathophysiology of myocarditis. Because of diverging findings from …

Abstract Background/Introduction Inflammation of cardiac tissue, termed myocarditis, is a
common cause of dilated cardiomyopathy associated with abnormal tissue remodeling …

Aim We aimed to investigate the histological and clinical presentations of experimental
autoimmune myocarditis (EAM) induced by different immunization schemes. Methods Male …

Autoimmune responses and inflammation are involved in the pathogenesis of many
cardiovascular diseases. There is compelling evidence that inflammatory mechanisms may …

Increasing evidence suggests male sex as a potential risk factor for a higher incidence of

Myocarditis is defined pathologically as an inflammation of the heart muscle. There are 2
major challenges in the field of myocarditis. One is that patients with severe forms of …

The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of two experimental regimes of human
intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIG) on the progression of experimental autoimmune …

Recent recognition that an autoimmune myocarditis may precede, and result in, dilated
cardiomyopathy has focused attention on immune mechanisms of myocardial injury. In this …

The most important clinical manifestation of myocarditis is congestive heart failure. The
precise mechanisms of heart failure during myocarditis have not been elucidated because …
