New Strategies for the Treatment of Coxsackievirus-induced Myocarditis

This is a Ph.D. dissertation. Coxsackieviruses B (CBV) are considered to be the principal etiological agent of viral myocarditis. In analogy to many other viral illnesses, both direct viral injury as well as the immune response plays an important role in the pathogenesis of viral heart disease. At the present moment not a single specific therapeutic agent is available for the treatment of CVB-induced myocarditis. The main goal of this work was to explore new strategies for the treatment of viral myocarditis based on the current scientific knowledge about the pathogenesis of this disease.Padalko, Elizaveta is the author of 'New Strategies for the Treatment of Coxsackievirus-induced Myocarditis ', published 2005 under ISBN 9789058674494 and ISBN 9058674495.
