Abstract
In 2002 I reported on the prevalence of the diagnosis of viral myocarditis I noticed during my visiting professorship at the Charité-Humboldt University of Berlin [ [1] Cheng T.O.

Am J Cardiol. 2002; 89: 1011-1012 Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (4) Google Scholar ]. I also pointed out at the time the clinical significance of this diagnosis as a probable precursor of idiopathic dilated cardiomypathy [ [1] Cheng T.O. Notes from a recent visitor to Berlin: on myocarditis, effect of coronary angiography on thyroid function, and Virchow's inflammatory theory of atherosclerosis. Am J Cardiol. 2002; 89: 1011-1012 Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (4) Google Scholar ].
