摘要
It is well established that immunological mechanisms are responsible for the pathophysiology of several heart diseases, some contributing significantly to morbidity and mortality worldwide. Of the multiple cellular and humoral components participating in the overall immune response in heart diseases, this article mainly deals with cellular immunity mediated by cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL). Three important heart diseases have been associated with CTL induced myocardial damage: (1) heart transplant rejection; (2) myocarditis and dilated cardiomyopathy; (3) Chagas heart disease.
