Zusammenfassung

Die Entzündung des Myokards ist eine häufige kardiale Erkrankung.

Neue molekularbiologische und immunhistologische Methoden können helfen, die Myokarditis in Hinblick auf eine chronische Viruspersistenz und die Aktivität einer myokardialen Entzündung zu sichern. Der Zusammenhang zwischen viraler Myokarditis und Entwicklung einer dilatativen Kardiomyopathie ist von besonderer Bedeutung. Hieraus ergeben sich neue Möglichkeiten zur Prognoseabschätzung und Planung einer spezifischen immunsuppressiven, immunmodulatorischen und antiviralen Therapie.

Abstract

Myocarditis is a common cardiological disease.

New molecular biological and immunohistological methods have confirmed the persistence of viral infection and chronic myocardial inflammation in a considerable number of patients. A causal link between viral myocarditis and the development of dilated cardiomyopathy has been recognized. This has prognostic implications and helps for the decision of a specific immunosuppressive, immunomodulatory and antiviral therapy.
