ABSTRACT

Myocarditis is defined as an inflammatory disease of the heart muscle and is a major cause of acute heart failure, sudden death and dilated cardiomyopathy. Viruses are the cause of most cases of myocarditis or inflammatory cardiomyopathy and can induce an inflammatory immune response despite elimination of the pathogen. The clinical presentation of this pathology can be symptomatic to the point of heart failure or death; they can also develop restrictive cardiomyopathy due to fibrosis. The definitive diagnosis is made by end myocardial biopsy. The most commonly used treatment for this pathology is corticosteroids. Advances in noninvasive techniques, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging have been very useful to support the diagnosis of myocarditis, but toxic, infectious and inflammatory, infiltrative or autoimmune processes occur in cells, and only end myocardial biopsy can establish the nature of the etiologic agent.
