Abstract
The development of dilated cardiomyopathy from chronic myocarditis is caused by the persistence of enteroviral infections and chronic myocar dial inflammation. New molecularbiological and immunohistochemical tec hniques improve diagnosis and allow predictions of the development of the disease. This facilitates the decision for a specific immunomodula tory therapy.
