Myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle), also called “myocarditis in the narrow sense”, is a disease characterized by immune inflammation of the myocardium due to infectious, allergic or toxic (including alcohol) exposures, potentially damaging the heart or other organs
Myocarditis is an inflammatory disease of the heart muscle, occurring in acute and subacute forms. Any areas of the myocardium are affected, both apical and basal sections. The forms of the disease are diffuse and focal. Inflammatory pathology can develop as a complication of another disease or act as an independent pathology. Most often, acute myocardiopathy manifests itself during an infectious process transmitted by airborne droplets. The development of the inflammatory disease is based on an allergic hypersensitivity reaction and immune-mediated myocardial failure. Unfortunately, it is quite difficult to make a diagnosis, since the primary symptoms of the disease are disguised as other ailments. In 80% of cases, signs of myocarditis appear during ARVI.
