Myocarditis is an inflammation of the heart muscle, typically caused by viral infections. It can also be triggered by other factors such as autoimmune diseases, medications, or physical exertion. Symptoms may include chest pain, shortness of breath, fatigue, and fever. Diagnosis often involves a combination of medical history, physical examination, and diagnostic tests such as blood tests, electrocardiogram (ECG), and imaging studies like echocardiogram or cardiac MRI.

Treatment for myocarditis depends on the underlying cause and severity of the condition. In many cases, rest, medication to reduce inflammation, and sometimes hospitalization may be required. In severe cases, heart failure or arrhythmias may develop, necessitating more intensive treatment. Recovery time varies, but with proper treatment, most people make a full recovery. Prevention strategies include avoiding known triggers, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and getting vaccinated against infectious diseases.
