The Effects of Sirolimus in Patients With Dilated Cardiomyopathy Infected With Kaposi Sarcoma-associated Virus

Summary

Evaluating the efficacy of sirolimus (compared to standard therapy alone) in the treatment of dilated cardiomyopathy infected with Kaposi Sarcoma-associated virus -- a multicenter randomized controlled study.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

* 18 to 70 years of age;
* Diagnosed as dilated cardiomyopathy. Specifically, (i) left ventricular ejection fraction \<45% (\>2 SD) and/or fractional shortening \<25% (\>2 SD), as ascertained by echocardiography, radionuclide scanning, or cardiac magnetic resonance imaging; (ii) left ventricular end-diastolic diameter \>117% of the predicted value corrected for age and body surface area (Henry's formula), which corresponds to 2 SD of the predicted normal limit +5%; and (iii) In the absence of severe coronary artery disease or valvular disease.
* KSHV DNA seropositivity;
* Patients are voluntary and signed informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Allergic to rapamycin or its derivatives；
