In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Background of the study Studies have shown that about one-third of patients with acute viral myocarditis (AVMC) eventually develop dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), and that the autoimmune response to viral infection is key to the development of AVMC to DCM. A variety of antimyocardial autoantibodies (AHAs) are detected in the sera of patients with myocarditis. Among them, anti-ฮฒ1AR antibodies are thought to contribute to the transition of AVMC to DCM possibly by promoting myocardial injury, cardiac remodeling, and impaired cardiac function. The role of anti-L-CaC antibodies in the evolution of AVMC to DCM is unknown, but they have been shown to induce ventricular tachycardia by increasing calcium inward flow and triggering early afterdepolarization, increasing the rate of sudden death and all-cause mortality in patients. Therefore, monitoring the levels of these antibodies may be useful in
