Myocarditis is an inflammatory disorder of the myocardium with necrosis of myocytes and associated inflammatory infiltrate. Although the etiological agent is usually a virus, some bacteria, fungi, autoimmune disorders and medical drugs may also be implicated. Myocarditis has a variable clinical manifestation from latent to very severe clinical forms, such as acute congestive heart failure and sudden death. Scintigraphy, echocardiography and cine magnetic resonance angiography are useful methods to identify myocarditis. Endomyocardial biopsy, using the Dallas criteria for histopathological classification, has remained the gold standard for the diagnosis of acute myocarditis. In this review, pathological mechanisms, modalities of diagnosis and treatment strategies of myocarditis are discussed.Keywords: Myocarditis, diagnosis, therapeuticsTurkiye Klinikleri J Med Sci 2006, 26:441-448
