Autophagy, Myocarditis, and Cardiomyopathy

Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology

Abstract

Direct damage and immune responses after viral infection lead to myocarditis. Autophagy is involved in both viral clearance and replication. In this chapter, we will briefly describe the role of autophagy in viral myocarditis. In addition, we will discuss the role of autophagy in dilated cardiomyopathy, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and diabetic cardiomyopathy.

Autophagy is a cellular process that allows degradation by the lysosome of cytoplasmic components such as proteins or organelles. Here is the latest research on autophagy & model organisms

Cardiomyopathy

Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle, that can lead to muscular or electrical dysfunction of the heart. It is often an irreversible disease that is associated with a poor prognosis. There are different causes and classifications of cardiomyopathies. Here are the latest discoveries pertaining to this disease.
