OBJECTIVE
To clarify the mechanism of the effects of angiotensin II receptor type 1 antagonist, candesartan, upon cardiac adiponectin in the combination of myocarditis with obesity, we examined obese KKAy mice with acute viral myocarditis treated by candesartan and investigated cardiac adiponectin
Obesity is an important risk factor for heart disease. Whether weight loss affects the severity of heart failure induced by viral myocarditis is a matter of debate. We hypothesized that weight loss could improve cardiac dysfunction by inducing cardiac expression of a cardioprotective cytokine,
Encephalomyocarditis (EMC) virus induces insulin-dependent diabetes and myocarditis in several strains of mice. The T-cell receptor (TCR) Vbeta genes of infiltrating T cells in the pancreas and myocardium of BALB/C mice infected with EMC virus D-variant (EMC-D virus) were analyzed. Using a nested
The 2009 Pandemic Novel Influenza A [HIN1] resulted in mild disease mostly but severe cases and death were associated with pneumonia, respiratory failure and multi-organ failure. We present a case of severe disease with acute heart failure and arrhythmia due to fulminant myocarditis in a 50- year
An autopsy case of carbamazepine overdose with focal myocarditis is reported. The decedent was a 33-year-old female with a history of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, who reportedly took 5-day dose of prescribed medications at around midnight. Although she stayed home following the direction of
To explore the potential contributions of gastroesophageal reflux disease, as opposed to Helicobacter pylori infection, to the development of gastric carditis, we evaluated gastric carditis (using the criteria of the updated Sydney system for the classification of gastritis), clinical and
Severe thyroid atrophy was found at the autopsy of a 39-year-old white woman who died of myocarditis, probably of viral etiology. Prolonged ingestion of thyroid hormone for the treatment of obesity appears to be the only plausible explanation for the atrophy, secondary to suppression of the
BACKGROUND
A 25-year-old obese male (BMI 31.9 kg/m(2)) presented with atypical chest pain of sudden onset that was indistinguishable from acute myocardial infarction. He had tachycardia (104 beats/min) and dyspnea at a low level of exercise. He had no previous cardiac history, but his cardiovascular
In recent years, more young patients are being admitted to hospitals with the diagnosis of heart failure secondary to myocarditis; many of these patients will progress to needing a heart transplant. Research shows that heart failure is increasing in prevalence and incidence and is expected to have
BACKGROUND
Fatal clozapine-induced myocarditis has not been investigated systematically. We describe the clinical course of 10 fatal cases of myocarditis with clozapine and identify factors associated with fatality.
METHODS
Cases of myocarditis were documented from the patient's medical records and
Obese individuals more frequently suffer from infections, as a result of increased susceptibility to a number of bacterial pathogens. Furthermore, obesity can alter antibiotic treatment efficacy due to changes in drug pharmacokinetics which can result in under-dosing. However, studies on the
Idiopathic giant cell myocarditis is a rare entity of unknown origin, which causes sudden death in more than half of the affected patients. It is rarely seen in childhood, and might result in death due to heart failure and ventricular arrhythmias. Idiopathic giant cell myocarditis is mostly
A 13-year obese female with suspected viral myocarditis presented with acute decompensated heart failure. Due to her body habitus, she was a poor candidate for immediate heart transplantation. A peripherally inserted left ventricular assist device (LVAD) was implanted via the right axillary artery.
A few clues about correlation between endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and mulberry (Morus alba) leaves were investigated in only the experimental autoimmune myocarditis and streptozotocin-induced diabetes. To investigate whether a novel extract of mulberry leaves fermented with Cordyceps
