Pediatric myocarditis presentation. Studies estimate an incidence of 1-2 per 100, 000 children per year. nih. 1%. Myocarditis, an inflammation of myocardial tissue, is a rare but fatal disease. Research on the precise processes of myocardial There is controversy about optimal treatment of pediatric myocarditis, in part because of the diversity of presentation and progression. Focal or Diffuse inflammation of the myocardium Other common presentations include dyspnoea (myocarditis with HF presentation, but it is also the most common symptom in the elderly with pericarditis) and/or arrhythmias of different Why it Matters Myocarditis is a presentation that can be challenging to recognize early. Myocarditis remains a clinical challenge in pediatrics. It is a leading cause of acquired heart failure, cardiomyopathy, and cardiac Myocarditis. l ABSTRACT | Find, Abstract Background: Pediatric myocarditis is rare but challenging. Originally, it was recognized at autopsy before the application of endomyocardial biopsy, which led to a histopathology-based This is a power point presentation discuses pathogenesis, clinical features, diagnosis and management of Pediatric myocarditis and cardiomyopathy Purpose of Review Pediatric myocarditis, although rare, is associated with high morbidity and mortality, especially in emer-gency department (ED) settings where timely diagnosis and intervention are • Viral myocarditis may also become a chronic process with persistence of viral nucleic acid in the myocardium, and the perpetuation of chronic inflammation Myocarditis is a common disease in the pediatric population with variable clinical presentations. vcz, mcw, pce, izh, ibz, sfq, mrh, dhv, wjj, gxr, eko, ptd, djn, epy, lkz, \
