Myocarditis Infectious-Allergic

Infectious-allergic myocarditis is an inflammation of the heart muscle caused by the combined action of infectious and allergic factors.

The disease develops in the presence of predisposing factors, such as previous infectious diseases and allergic reactions. Infectious-allergic myocarditis most often occurs in children and young people.

Both infectious agents (viruses, bacteria) and the body’s allergic reactions to these pathogens or medications play a role in the development of the disease. Allergic inflammation increases myocardial damage due to the infectious process.

Clinical manifestations of infectious-allergic myocarditis include general symptoms of intoxication, fever, shortness of breath, heart pain, rhythm and conduction disturbances.

Diagnosis is based on medical history, clinical picture, ECG changes, laboratory and instrumental studies.

Treatment is aimed at fighting infection, eliminating allergic reactions and maintaining cardiac function. The prognosis depends on the severity of heart damage. With timely treatment, complete recovery is possible.

Basic concepts. Myocarditis is an inflammatory process that affects the muscle tissue of the myocardium (heart muscle). And I am very glad to see that you have peace and tranquility in your heart. As I understand it, this is just the beginning and my words will distract a little from this illness.

Why infectious viral myocarditis? I would just like to dispel misconceptions about the occurrence of infectious allergic diseases (otherwise they may be ineffective in treating such an unpleasant illness, but I will tell you why they are ineffective at the end of the article. Usually myocarditis develops against the background of other diseases. This happens as follows. On the mucous membrane the lining of the stomach or intestines becomes infected, gastritis or another gastrointestinal disease begins to develop. Under a certain set of circumstances, this infection, along with the lymph or blood, enters the heart muscle. As a result: pain first appears in the heart area, increased heartbeat, shortness of breath and a feeling of constriction in the chest. The temperature can either decrease or increase. It should also be noted that myocarditis rarely occurs in isolation. Most often, the digestive system, respiratory organs, central nervous system, etc. are involved in the process. Without treatment, the myocardium atrophies and dies. A this means already in 60% of cases, the outcome is not favorable. Therefore, it is sometimes difficult to understand the cause of the disease. According to statistics, inflammation of the heart muscle has
