• Cardiac Signs and Symptoms

  The diagnosis of CS may be easy if cardiac signs or symptoms develop in a patient with a known diagnosis of extra-cardiac disease, but is particularly challenging in isolated CS. [escardio.org]

(See Etiology, Clinical, and Workup.) [emedicine.medscape.com]

Echocardiogram and cardiac MRI are the main imaging tests used in the workup of myocarditis. [clinicaladvisor.com]

• ST Elevation

  Diagnostic clues: Signs of CHF, possibly a pericardial friction rub, EKG showing nonspecific ST changes and sometimes low voltages (due to myocardial edema), sometimes signs of pericarditis (i.e. diffuse ST elevations), and can have frank ST elevations [errolozdalga.com]

  Markers of myocardial damage ( troponin or creatine kinase cardiac isoenzymes) are elevated. [10] The ECG findings most commonly seen in myocarditis are diffuse T wave inversions; saddle-shaped ST-segment elevations may be present (these are also seen [en.wikipedia.org]

  Like acute MI, myocarditis may be associated with regional ST elevations and Q waves. Myocarditis should be suspected in young patients who present with a possible MI but have a normal coronary angiogram. [textbookofcardiology.org]

  EKG is abnormal about half the time, with sinus tachycardia and nonspecific ST-T abnormalities being the most common finding. ST elevations or depressions, PR depression, pathologic Q waves, arrhythmias, or heart block may also be present. 2. [clinicaladvisor.com]

Not everyone who has the disease needs treatment. If you do, prednisone, a type of steroid, is the main treatment. [icdlist.com]

In majority of cases, lung sarcoidosis is a self-limiting disease whereas cardiac involvement carries a poorer prognosis due to heart failure and malignant arrhythmias. [myocarditisfoundation.org]

Prognosis and Therapy: 1) Lymphocytic (Viral) Myocarditis – prognosis is variable, but many patients will spontaneously recover. The benefit of immunosuppression and IVIG is unclear, again since many patients recover on their own. [errolozdalga.com]

Natural History, Complications and Prognosis Complications Giant cell myocarditis is generally characterized by progressive congestive heart failure, and is frequently associated with refractory ventricular arrhythmias. [wikidoc.org]

Cardiac sarcoidosis (CS) is a multisystem granulomatous disorder of unknown etiology with frequent cardiac involvement. We describe a patient presenting with a ventricular tachycardia, presumably originating in the right ventricle (RV). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Coronary angiogram has a role mainly in ruling out ischemia as an etiology. Cardiac MRI is being used more and more and is good at detecting myocardial damage and edema which can point you towards myocarditis. [errolozdalga.com]

Myocarditis, defined as inflammatory disease of the myocardium, has a first phase of direct or indirect tissue damage due to infection, followed by an autoimmune phase. 3 Corticosteroids would thus be expected to affect the pathophysiological process. [elsevier.pt]

Pathophysiology Dilated cardiomyopathy represents the final common morphologic outcome of various biologic insults. The combination of myocyte injury and necrosis associated with myocardial fibrosis results in impaired mechanical function. [clevelandclinicmeded.com]
