Myocarditis is a non-ischemic inflammatory disease of the myocardium caused by viruses and various autoimmune diseases
.
The number of cases worldwide is about 1.
8 million cases per year, and the incidence rate is (1.
0 to 2.
2)/1 million

This review discusses the latest overview
of the classification, diagnosis, clinical manifestations, and treatment of myocarditis.
classify
Myocarditis is classified in a variety of ways, and can be divided into infectious and non-infectious myocarditis according to its underlying pathogenesis
.
Noninfectious myocarditis is less common in general and includes toxic myocarditis (caused by drugs, toxins, or physical factors) and immune-mediated myocarditis, which
).
Infective myocarditis can be caused by several pathogens, and the prevalence varies from region to region
.
Areas with limited resources are associated with specific diseases, such as rheumatic diseases, American trypanosomiasis, HIV, and worm or bacterial infections
.
In Western countries, viruses are probably the most common cause of myocarditis (Table 1
).
Table 1 Several viruses that cause myocarditis (Note: Multiple viral infections may occur in about 27% of patients)
Clinical manifestations
According to the study,

Other typical but nonspecific symptoms include fatigue,

According to statements from the European

The main clinical features of acute myocarditis are three (usually manifested as one):

in the presence of severe arrhythmias and
Children and women are more susceptible to fulminant myocarditis

Patients with chronic myocarditis and chronic inflammatory cardiomyopathy usually have hemodynamically stable compared with patients with acute myocarditis, with only mild elevated plasma troponin levels, usually disproportionate to

hemodynamic instability is excluded using more accurate imaging modalities such as magnetic resonance imaging (CMR).
TTE plays an important role in ruling out heart failure or chest pain from other causes, but its diagnostic accuracy is limited due to the lack of specific echocardiographic findings
.
The most common manifestations are local ventricular wall motor abnormalities (often involving the lower or lower lateral wall), diastolic dysfunction with normal left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), and left ventricular systolic dysfunction
.
Features similar to hypertrophic, dilated, or

Recently, two-dimensional spot-tracking echocardiography has been used clinically as a tool for diagnosing and assessing prognosis in patients with suspected acute myocarditis

Multi-row spiral CT coronary angiography (MDCT) and the recently introduced delayed enhancement-MDCT (DE-MDCT) can be used to distinguish ischemic and nonischemic cardiomyopathy, just like

CMR imaging is a non-invasive reference technique
for diagnosis and follow-up in patients with myocarditis.
CMR is based on the Lake Louise standard, which was first published in 2009, and the Lake Louise standard was updated in 2018 (Table 2) to improve sensitivity (87.

Management of myocarditis
Patients with hemodynamically stable suspected myocarditis, even if mild or asymptomatic, should be admitted to hospital for clinical monitoring
.
In patients with chest pain, elevated troponin, and possible ischemic ECG changes, acute coronary syndrome
is excluded by invasive coronary
β-blockers are often used to treat acute myocarditis or uncomplicated diseases, possibly because they have an anti-arrhythmic effect
.
The European Society of Cardiology recommends against the use of NSAIDs, especially acetylsalicylic
, in patients with acute myocarditis.
Patients should limit physical activity in the acute phase of myocarditis, as it may increase the risk
of sudden cardiac death.
Athletes should avoid competitive sports
for at least 3 months after the onset of myocarditis.
Antiviral and immunosuppressive therapy
There is currently no specific evidence-based treatment for myocarditis caused by the virus
.
The pathogenesis of myocarditis heart damage is often attributed to the autoimmune/superimmune response to viral infections, so immunomodulatory therapy is considered a potential treatment
.
Preliminary data suggest that
is needed before clinical application.
The causal role of human parvovirus B19 (B19V) in the pathogenesis of myocarditis remains controversial
.
Three potential strategies for treating B19V-associated myocarditis have been proposed and are being investigated: high-dose intravenous immunoglobulin,
