Myocarditis
Inflammation of the heart muscle, known in medical terms as myocarditis, consists of irritation of the muscular layer of the heart responsible for pumping blood. This inflammation can alter the strength and rhythm of the heartbeat.
Common causes: It is usually related to infectious processes, immune system reactions, or exposure to certain substances that affect the heart tissue.
Common symptoms: It may present with fatigue, chest pain, palpitations, or difficulty breathing; in some cases the symptoms are mild and in others more noticeable.
Which specialist treats it? The cardiologist is the doctor in charge of evaluating inflammation of the heart muscle, and in minors this role falls to the pediatric cardiologist. In the case of chest pain or shortness of breath that does not let up, the prudent course is to seek medical care without delay.
