OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study is to define the predictors of chronic carditis in patients with acute rheumatic carditis (ARC).
METHODS
Patients diagnosed with ARC between May 2010 and May 2011 were included in the study. Echocardiography, electrocardiography, lymphocyte subset analysis, acute
Properties of animal serum albumin transport and its structure were studied in experimental myocarditis. The data obtained suggest that impairments in myocardium were of chronic and recurring type. The albumin exhibited a high structure-functional variability.
The diagnosis of myocarditis traditionally relies on invasive endomyocardial biopsy but none of the imaging studies so far are specific for infiltration of the inflammatory cells itself. We synthesized 68Ga-2-(p-isothiocyanatobenzyl)-1,4,7-triazacyclononane-1,4,7-triacetic acid (NOTA) mannosylated
Myocarditis, often initiated by viral infection, may progress to autoimmune inflammatory heart disease, dilated cardiomyopathy and heart failure. Although cardiac myosin is a dominant autoantigen in animal models of myocarditis and is released from the heart during viral myocarditis, the
BACKGROUND
This is an update of a previous review. Case reports and case series have described dramatic responses to intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) in people with presumed viral myocarditis, and its administration has become commonplace.
OBJECTIVE
The primary objective of this review was to
BACKGROUND
Case reports and case series have described dramatic responses to IVIG in adults and children with presumed viral myocarditis. Administration of IVIG has become commonplace in the management of this condition.
OBJECTIVE
To compare the outcome of patients with presumed viral myocarditis
BACKGROUND
Ischaemia-modified albumin, a novel biochemical marker for tissue ischaemia, was found to be associated with oxidative stress. The purpose of this study was to assess the role of ischaemia-modified albumin in the diagnosis of acute rheumatic fever and also to evaluate the
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the diagnostic value of ischemia-modified albumin (IMA) for patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS).
METHODS
We detected the IMA levels by albumin cobalt-binding (ACB) test and observed its dynamic changes in 492 patients with ACS, 74 patients with high blood pressure,
OBJECTIVE
Production of nitric oxide via the cytokine-mediated activation of myocardial inducible nitric oxide synthase decreases myocardial contractility. Whether myocardial dysfunction is mediated directly by nitric oxide or indirectly through the formation of secondary reaction products, such as
Background: This is an update of a previous review. Case reports and case series have described dramatic responses to intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) in people with presumed viral myocarditis, and its administration has become
Preventive effects of FK506 on autoimmune myocarditis have been demonstrated, but the therapeutic efficacy of the agent in established myocarditis yet remains to be assessed. In this study, effects of FK506 on experimental autoimmune myocarditis were investigated by the use of the agent after the
Male and female BALB/c mice were inoculated with various concentrations of coxsackievirus, group B, type 3 (CVB3), ranging from 10 to 10(7) plaque-forming units (PFU). Lower viral doses (greater than 10(2) PFU) induced severe myocarditis in male mice but caused little injury in females. With 10(7)
Experimental autoimmune myocarditis (EAM) in rats is an animal model of human giant cell myocarditis and postmyocarditis dilated cardiomyopathy. As the heart consumes large amounts of energy, heart diseases such as myocarditis and dilated cardiomyopathy are associated with abnormal fatty acid
The course of an experimental Trypanosoma evansi infection in coatis (Nasua nasua, carnivora, Procyonidae) was followed for 262 days. Hematological analysis of the infected coatis revealed a marked decline in hemoglobin, packed-cell volume, and total erythrocyte count. An intense anemia followed the
Autoantibodies against myosin are associated with myocarditis and rheumatic heart disease. In this study, the antigenic cross-reactivity of myosin and N-acetyl-glucosamine (GlcNAc), the dominant epitope of Group A streptococcal polysaccharide, was examined. Six antimyosin monoclonal antibodies
