Abstract
|
|
|
Myocarditis is defined as the myocardial inflammation caused by various infectious
agents (such as virus, rickettsia, bacteria, protozoa, fungus and parasites). The clinical
manifestations of myocarditis ranges from the asymptomatic state due to focal
inflammation to fulminant fatal congestive heart failure secondary to diffuse myocardial
involvement. Clinically, in some cases, it may simulate an acute myocardial infarction.
We experienced a case of acute fulminant myocarditis that presented as acute
myocardial infarction initially, and then progressed into and recovered from congestive
heart failure and multiorgan failure.
