Abstract
We previously observed an increased presence of the stress response protein clusterin in the hearts of acute myocardial infarction patients.[3] Herein, clusterin was not only present in necrotic cardiomyocytes but also in viable morphologically normal cardiomyocytes in the noninfarcted myocardium. Keywords: cardiomyocytes; clusterin; lymphocytic myocarditis; viral myocarditis EN cardiomyocytes clusterin lymphocytic myocarditis viral myocarditis 1 6 6 02/14/23 20230301 NES 230301 INTRODUCTION Myocarditis is an inflammatory disease of the heart that is most commonly caused by a viral infection of the heart. Clusterin+ cardiomyocytes were found scattered across the left ventricle in LM patients and the staining intensity of clusterin varied between cardiomyocytes (Figure 1B). [Extracted from the article]
