Myocarditis
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Myocarditis is the inflammation of the myocardium, the muscle responsible for pumping blood from the heart to the rest of the body.
Common causes: It is frequently related to infections, especially of viral origin, though it can also be due to reactions of the immune system or other factors.
Common symptoms: It can cause fatigue, shortness of breath, chest pain, palpitations, or a sensation of tiredness disproportionate to the exertion.
Which specialist treats it? The cardiologist, and in children the pediatric cardiologist, evaluates the functioning of the heart and guides the necessary studies. When there is chest pain, difficulty breathing, or irregular heartbeats, seeking medical evaluation without delay is the most sensible choice.
