Abstract
Many viruses can involve the heart (Abelman 1971), and much experimental work on animals has yielded information on the characteristics of virus myocarditis. Usually the virus involves the myocardium, the pericardium or both, but Burch and Shary (1976) have described experimental coronary arteritis and myocardial infarction and Burch et al. (1964) have described valvar lesions.
