Heart failure is a leading problem in clinical cardiology. The causes are diverse, and treatment must be tailored according to underlying mechanisms. Inflammatory causes are a particular challenge. With their study, reported in this issue of iJACC, Fran-cone et al. (2) intend to narrow the gap in our current knowledge regarding the diagnostic workup of inflammatory heart disease, particularly as related to viral cardiac infections.
