Experimental study of virus myocarditis in culture.
In this present paper, the authors would like to present here two points of results from the experimental study concerning virus myocarditis in culture. One is the direct delicate features of heart cells affected with Coxsackie B3 (Cox. B3) virus viewed through both light microscope and electron microscope. The other is the fact that marked proliferation of fibroblastic cells take place to replace the heart cells impaired by the virus suggesting to us the possibility of one of the genesisses, revealing fibroblastic involvement in the Idiopathic Cardiomyopathy (ICM) which could be followed by the residual of the virus myocarditis.
