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 myocarditis into dilated cardiomyopathy: one is a persistent viral infection, and the other is an autoimmune myocardial injury. To clarify the possible part played by the autoimmune mechanism in the process, using an animal model, w...

متن کاملCalcium overload in human giant cell myocarditis.
Myocardial calcium overload was observed in a patient with giant cell myocarditis. The myocardial calcium content estimated by atomic absorption spectrophotometry amounted to 120 mEq/kg dry weight, and the von Kossa stain disclosed multiple foci with patchy calcifications of myocardial fibres. Cytochemical examination of the ultrastructural calcium localisation using the phosphate-pyroantimonat...
متن کاملCause of Sudden Death; Giant Cell Myocarditis
Sudden cardiac deaths due to giant cell myocarditis (GCM) are uncommon. Giant cell myocarditis is an inflammatory myocardial disease. It is characterized by inflammation of the heart muscle (myocardium), a condition referred to as myocarditis. Inflammation is caused by widespread infiltration of giant cells associated with other inflammatory cells and cardiac muscles cell destruction. Giant cel...
