Abstract

Viral myocarditis exhibits a wide spectrum of symptoms ranging from non-specific prodromes such as fatigue and myalgia to chest pain, life-threatening arrhythmias, fulminant heart failure, or even sudden cardiac death.Common viral aetiologies for myocarditis include enteroviruses including coxsackie, adenovirus, influenza, echovirus, parvovirus B19 and herpesvirus.A high index of suspicion, early diagnosis, and prompt management with supportive anti-failure measures, and in selected cases immunosuppressive therapies including high-dose steroids, might be considered for better outcomes in cases of acute myocarditis.
