Viral Infections and Immunology Research
Viral Infections and Immunology Research is a research topic within Cardiology and Cardiovascular Medicine. Science Explorer counts 44k research works in it since 1950. 22.3% of them reached the world's top 10% most cited for their field and year.
This cluster of papers focuses on the aetiology, diagnosis, and management of myocarditis, with an emphasis on viral infections such as enterovirus and poliovirus. It discusses the use of cardiovascular magnetic resonance and endomyocardial biopsy in diagnosing myocarditis, as well as the role of immunosuppressive therapy in its management. The cluster also covers the epidemiology of viral myocarditis and its association with inflammatory cardiomyopathy and heart failure.
