Artificial Heart athletic heart cardiac cirrhosis fatty heart heart left heart right heart Stone Heart			[FIGURE 3 OMITTED] Innate Immune Response Initiates Myocarditis Since the innate immune response is critical in determining the development of adaptive immunity (18) and proinflammatory cytokines administered during the innate response determine whether chronic myocarditis develops, we were interested in studying early differences in the cytokine response to CB3 infection in susceptible (BALB/c) or resistant (C57BL/6) mice to see if they could provide clues to the progression to autoimmunity. Women and autoimmune diseases by Rose, Noel R. / Emerging Infectious Diseases Certain cytokines (interleukin [IL]-1 and tumor necrosis factor [TNF]-[alpha], but not viral replication, correlate with cardiac inflammation and can overcome resistance to chronic myocarditis (7-9).
