Cardiovascular Complications in Chronic Active EBV Infection: A Narrative Review

Jing Xu authored a narrative review summarizing clinical data on cardiovascular complications in chronic active Epstein–Barr virus infection. The review synthesizes findings from 32 articles reporting on 57 patients, with a median age of 11 years. It was published on figshare in March 2026 under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Summarizing clinical characteristics of CAEBV-associated cardiovascular damage based on the review's findings.
• Analyzing age-based prevalence of complications like coronary artery lesions and pulmonary hypertension based on the patient cohort data.
• Informing diagnostic and treatment strategy development for rare cardiac manifestations of viral infections based on the literature synthesis.

Strengths

• Provides a synthesized summary of a rare condition, aggregating data from 32 articles.
• Includes specific patient cohort details: 57 patients with a median age of 11 years and a breakdown by age and sex.
• Clear licensing (CC-BY-4.0) for reuse and sharing.

Limitations

• The dataset is a 71.4 KB document, indicating a limited scope focused on a literature review summary rather than primary patient data.
• Row count and column-level documentation for any underlying data are absent; field semantics must be inferred from the text.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality and comprehensiveness of the literature search require manual inspection.
