  1. Viral Infections In Which Cardiovascular Manifestations Predominate OST 524 Cardiovascular System M. J. Patterson, MD, PhD

  2. Myocarditis-Pericarditis • Etiology: cardiotropism • Pathology • Clinical features • Diagnosis • Immunity • Epidemiology • Prophylaxis and treatment

  3. Viral Infections with Involvement of the Hematopoeitic and Lymphatic Systems • Epstein Barr Virus (EBV): Infectious mononucleosis • EBV: Burkitt's lymphoma • Human herpes HHV6, HHV7, HHV8 • Human Parvovirus B19: transient aplastic anemia • Bone marrow failure • Malignant association - other

  4. CMV and cardiovascular disease

  5. Cardiac Malformations as Part of Rubella Embryopathy • Etiology: vascular endothelial tropism

  6. Myocarditis - Pericarditis • Etiology • Virus should always be part of the differential diagnosis of primary acute myocarditis • Clinical evidence suggesting involvement of the heart has been reported for essentially all known viruses • Cardiotropism: viral receptor substances

  7. Myocarditis - Pericarditis • Etiology • Most commonly incriminated viruses: enterovirus 30 nm, RNA: Coxsackie B, Coxsackie A, ECHO, polio • Cox B esp 2,3,4,5 • Cox A • ECHO • Occasionally myopericardial involvement in course of any viral infection • often manifested only by EKG modification • does not necessarily imply an anatomic alteration of the  myocardium

  8. Common Coxsackievirus A Coxsackievirus B Echovirus Human immunodeficiency virus Influenza Less Common Adenovirus family Arbovirus Epstein-Barr virus Herpes simplex virus type 1 Human cytomegalovirus Measles virus Respiratory syncytial virus Rubella virus Varicella-zoster virus Viruses That Have Been Shown to Cause Myocarditis

  9. Myocarditis - Pericarditis • Pathology • Relatively nonspecific • Cardiac lesions: dilation and hypertrophy, esp. of left ventricle, edema, interstitial infiltrate of mononuclear cells, isolated necrosis of myocardial fibers, inflammation and necrosis resulting in foci for sclerosis • Diffuse cellular necrosis in other organs in coxsackie infections • Pericarditis rarely occurs without clinical or histologic evidence of myocarditis • Immune-mediated pathology

  12. Myocarditis - Pericarditis • Clinical features: relatively rare form of heart disease in U.S., generally acute and benign •  Occurrence - a disease of newborns and infants; sometimes older children, occasionally in adults • Antecedent URI---1-30d before symptoms refer to heart • subacute or chronic cardiopathy

  20. Myocarditis - Pericarditis • Diagnosis • Appropriate specimens for viral diagnosis • Isolation of agent: pericardial fluid, T.S., R. S. first few days  of illness, heart tissue at autopsy or biopsy • Serology: 4-fold rise in titre by neutralization, complement  fixation, hemagglutination inhibition; allows identification of a  specific recent infection which is circumstantial evidence with a  high index of suspicion when correlated with clinical findings. • Etiological diagnosis of viral carditis is difficult

  21. Disease Category: Myocarditis-pericarditis • *Because it is frequently very difficult to isolate and/or associate these agents with the  disease in question, it is emphasized that serological tests are particularly important  to insure a diagnosis. •  N.B. In general, it is important to remember that viral shedding often diminishes rapidly after the onset of illness; therefore, it is important to attempt to collect specimens as early as possible - including an acute serum sample.

  22. Criteria for Viral Myocarditis • High-order association • Isolation of virus from myocardium, endocardium or pericardial fluid or • Demonstration of viral antigen in the myocardium endocardium or pericardium by immunofluorescent or immunoperoxidase assay, etc.

  23. Criteria for Viral Myocarditis • Moderate-order association • Isolation of virus from pharynx or feces, and a fourfold rise in type-specific neutralizing, hemagglutination-inhibiting or complement-fixing antibodies or • Isolation of virus from pharynx or feces, and a concomitant titer in serum of 1/32 or more of type-specific IgM-neutralizing or hemagglutination-inhibiting antibodies.

  24. Criteria for Viral Myocarditis • Low-order association • Isolation of virus from pharynx or feces. • A fourfold rise in type-specific neutralizing, hemagglutination inhibiting, or complement-fixing antibodies • A single serum with a titer of 1/32 or greater of type-specific IgM neutralizing or hemagglutination inhibiting antibodies

  25. Histologic Criteria for the Classification of Viral Myocarditis (“Dallas Criteria”) • Initial Biopsy • Active myocarditis with or without fibrosis • Presence of inflammatory infiltrate and damage of adjacent myocytes • Frank necrosis that may consist of vacuolization, irregular cellular outlines, and cellular disruption with lymphocytes closely applied to the cell surface • Uninvolved myocardium often appears normal • Borderline myocarditis (may require biopsy) • Inflammatory infiltrate or myocyte damage not seen on light microscopy • Diagnostic changes evident on additional cuts of original biopsy, which suggest active myocarditis and do not require a repeat biopsy • No evidence of myocarditis

  26. Histologic Criteria for the Classification of Viral Myocarditis (“Dallas Criteria”) • Subsequent Biopsies • Ongoing myocarditis • Degree of abnormality is equal to or worse than that of the original biopsy • Resolving myocarditis • Inflammatory infiltrate is less and repair is evident • Resolved myocarditis • No remaining inflammatory infiltrate and no evidence of persistent cellular necrosis

  27. Myocarditis - Pericarditis • Immunity: • Need to see 4-fold rise due to ubiquity of the agents and persistence of titers • Chronicity postulated due to lesions representing an immune response

  28. Myocarditis - Pericarditis • Epidemiology: • Season: random through year • Spread: fecal-oral and respiratory • Age • Other factors: • Physical exercise • Nutrition • Volume load on circulatory system • Pregnancy • Sex • Corticosteroids • Diabetes

  29. The Journal of Experimental Medicine 143:1239, 1976

  30. Myocarditis - Pericarditis • Prophylaxis and treatment: • Chronic sequelae constitute an argument for search for specific treatment and prevention • Controlled studies of effects of therapeutic measures are needed • Bed rest and supportive therapy

  32. Proposed Therapies of Postviral and Idiopathic Myocarditis

  33. Viral Infections with Involvement of the Hematopoietic and Lymphatic Systems

  34. Epstein-Barr Virus, Infectious mononucleosis • EBV herpes group virus, lymphotropic • 1889 Pfeiffer - "drusenfieber" - glandular fever • 1968 - Henle's: after long history attributed an essential virus  role in   the disease to a virus of the herpes group • EB virus = Epstein Barr virus, a herpes type virus named for cell  line in which it was first detected • Transforms (i.e., releases from normal regulatory control)  human B lymphocytes which then interact with the T  lymphocytes (atypical  lymphs of mono)

  38. Various Forms of Infection by EB Virus in Man • Productive replicative infection • Virus replication leading to cell death (as in the oropharynx of some infected individuals) • Nonproductive infection • Can be activated to productive cycle • Latent infection • Virus genome express to give LYDMA and EBNA (as in peripheral B cells of all infected individuals) • Malignant transformation • Virus genome expressed to give early antigen and cell changes of malignancy (as in BL showing LYDMA, EBNA, EMA, and NPC showing EBNA) • In marmosets EB virus certainly induces malignant transformation with EBNA expression to give malignant lymphomas
