We have developed murine models of viral myocarditis induced by encephalomyocarditis
(EMC) virus in which severe myocarditis, congestive heart failure and dilated …

We have developed murine models of viral myocarditis induced by the
encephalomyocarditis (EMC) virus in which there is a high incidence of severe myocarditis …

The angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor captopril prevents myosin-induced
experimental autoimmune myocarditis. Captopril inhibits production of angiotensin II and …

Previous studies have shown that indomethacin administered during the early phase of
experimental myocarditis may exacerbate the disease process. It is unknown whether late …

Experimental autoimmune myocarditis could be produced in mice by repeated injection of
syngeneic heart extract together with Klebsiella pneumoniae O3 lipopolysaccharide (KO3 …

Nonsteroid anti-inflammatory drugs are often used to treat myalgias and arthralgias in
enteroviral infections, but their effects on acute viral myocarditis are unknown. The effect of …

This review examines the immunologic rationale for immunosuppressive and
immunomodulating therapy in man and experimental animal. The controversy if …

One of the possible causes of dilated cardiomyopathy is considered to be a sequel to
myocarditis. Two mechanisms have been proposed in the process of progression of …

Recently, we have established a novel experimental model for autoimmune myocarditis.
Acute serious myocarditis can be induced in Lewis rats by immunization with cardiac …

BACKGROUND To elucidate the mechanisms of immune-related myocardial injuries, we
examined whether autoimmune myocarditis was passively transferable by use of humoral or …
