自身免疫性心肌炎发病机制和临床意义的研究进展

自身免疫受遗传、免疫、激素和环境等因素影响,病毒感染可能会触发自身免疫.在各种类型心脏病的发病过程中自身免疫可能扮演一个重要角色,被定义为由心肌功能受损引起的心肌炎症反应,是导致扩张型心肌病最常见的病因.心肌炎可以由感染和非感染因素引起,非感染因素包括伴随心肌炎的自身免性疾病.为了更好地了解自身免疫性心肌炎,该文就自身免疫性心肌炎的发病机制和临床意义作一综述.

Updates on autoimmune myocarditis pathogenesis and its clinical significance

Autoimmunity is influenced by genetic,immune,hormonal,and environmental factors.Viral infections may trigger autoimmunity.It has been established that autoimmunity may be a contributing factor in the pathogenesis of heart disease.Myocarditis is defined as inflammation of the heart muscle associated with impaired function of the myocardium.Myocarditis is considered as the most common cause of dilated cardiomyopathy.Myocarditis may be caused by infectious factors and noninfectious factors,noninfectious factors including autoimmune diseases with myocarditis.To gain a better understanding of autoimmune myocarditis,we summarize the pathogenesis and clinical significance of autoimmune myocarditis.
