Should not yet change practice in immune cardiac disease; leaves open mechanistic delineation for targeted therapies.
Highlights the emerging understanding of immune mechanisms in cardiac disease and the potential for future targeted therapies for immune myocarditis.
Epstein et al. (1994) conducted a review in Immune cardiac disease. Immune mechanisms, including cellular infiltration and cytokine release, impair myocardial contractility, suggesting a future role for targeted immunomodulatory therapies in immune myocarditis.
