European Journal of Heart Failure,  Clinical Article


Kühl U, et al. – Human herpesvirus 6 (HHV–6) A and B are two betaherpesviruses that are associated with many conditions including roseola, drug–induced hypersensitivity syndrome, limbic encephalitis, and myocarditis. The data suggest that virus replication in cardiac tissue of ciHHV–6 heart failure patients suggests that ciHHV–6 reactivation causes persistence of unexplained heart failure symptoms. The authors demonstrated that antiviral treatment, effective in decreasing viral transcripts and clinical complaints of cardiomyopathies, is a new therapeutic option for ciHHV–6–associated diseases.
