Purpose Of Review: This review aims to assess the current landscape of animal models used in myocarditis research, with a focus on understanding their utility in uncovering the pathophysiology of the disease. The goal is to evaluate these models' strengths and weaknesses and propose optimizations to make them more relevant and reliable for both mechanistic studies and therapeutic interventions in myocarditis.
Recent Findings: Recent studies have primarily utilized animal models, particularly viral and autoimmune myocarditis models, to study disease mechanisms.
