title: [Pathogenesis of inflammatory cardiomyopathies].
abstract: The development of dilated cardiomyopathy from chronic myocarditis is caused by the persistence of enteroviral infections and chronic myocardial inflammation. New molecularbiological and immunohistochemical techniques improve diagnosis and allow predictions of the development of the disease. This facilitates the decision for a specific immunomodulatory therapy.
