Excerpt

Myocarditis is the most common finding in patients presenting with chest pain, ECG changes, raised troponin and culprit-free coronary angiograms. Adverse events, such as arrhythmias, heart failure and death can occur in the absence of significant left ventricular (LV) impairment and myocarditis should not be considered benign when systolic function is normal at presentation. We currently do not know how to predict which patients will deteriorate. In addition, poorly understood risks of sudden death and cardiovascular events persist in this group. …
