[Experimental data on relations of viral myocarditis and dilated cardiomyopathy].
The aim of the given study is to simulate viral myocarditis (VMC) experimentally and to reveal morphologic evidences of its transformations into the dilatation cardiomyopathy (DCMP). Syrian golden hamsters were infected with Coxsackie B2 virus. Optical and electron microscopic morphological changes of myocardium showed the possible transformation of VMC into DCMP.
