THE PREVALENCE OF AUTOIMMUNITY AND RELATIONSHIP TO CARDIAC STATUS IN PEDIATRIC MYOCARDITIS AND RECENT ONSET DILATED CARDIOMYOPATHY

Methods Evidence of autoimmunity was evaluated by measuring serum titers of autoantibodies to human cardiac myosin (HCM), beta-1 and 2 adrenergic receptors (BAR1 and BAR2), and muscarinic-2 receptor (M2) as well as antibody-mediated protein kinase A activation (PKA) in children with acute MC/DCM (N=...

Description
Summary:Methods Evidence of autoimmunity was evaluated by measuring serum titers of autoantibodies to human cardiac myosin (HCM), beta-1 and 2 adrenergic receptors (BAR1 and BAR2), and muscarinic-2 receptor (M2) as well as antibody-mediated protein kinase A activation (PKA) in children with acute MC/DCM (N=16) at presentation, previously diagnosed ( 6 months since diagnosis) MC/DCM (N=12), and healthy age-matched controls (N=16).
