Myocarditis deciphered by bioinorganic chemistry

Myocarditis, although rare, is a potentially serious heart condition caused mainly by a viral infection. This inflammation of the myocardium can present a range of symptoms, from no symptoms to severe symptoms. However, with proper management, myocarditis does not necessarily affect life expectancy.In this book, we delve into the fascinating world of bioinorganic chemistry to explore myocarditis from a new angle. We discuss the importance of metals in biological processes, the role of metalloproteins, the use of metals in drugs and the potential toxicity of metals.Using techniques such as spectroscopy, X-ray crystallography and NMR, we unveil the role of metals in health and disease. This book is an exploration of how bioinorganic chemistry can contribute to our understanding of myocarditis and to the advancement of research in this field.
