[Changes in the cardiovascular system in adenovirus infection in adults]

The effect of adenovirus infection on the cardiovascular system of 37 adult patients with CHD and without signs of CHD was studied. It was shown that adenovirus infection caused lesion of the cardiovascular system with few clinical signs but with distinct ECG changes. They occurred in the 1st and 2nd weeks and were rather unstable. The most stable and noticeable ECG changes were recorded in CHD patients with a previous history of myocardial infarction and when adenovirus infection was complicated by pneumonia.
