Differential Diagnosis of Fulminant Myocarditis and Acute Coronary Syndromes in the Case of Failure of Coronary Angiography: A Case Report

Abstract: Fulminant myocarditis (FM) is a severe disease with a rapidly progressive and life-threatening course caused mainly by viral infection. The symptoms, laboratory findings, and presence of ECG changes resemble acute coronary syndrome. Therefore, coronary angiography is usually helpful in making the appropriate diagnosis. However, failure to obtain complete coronary artery images due to coronary artery anatomic variations poses a challenge for the diagnosis of FM. Here, we report a case of FM preliminarily diagno… Show more

“…Fulminant myocarditis is difficult to diagnose, because the manifestations are often atypical, such as chest pain, arrhythmia, and dyspnea (11). In addition, most patients with FM are often younger and healthier and are easy to be ignored (3).…”

“…FM is a severe and rapidly progressing disease that poses a significant threat to life. [3] Researchers have devoted considerable attention to studying FM, exploring various aspects such as diagnosis, [11] therapy, [54] and its relationship with other diseases. [8] Over the past 3 decades, there has been a notable increase in the number of articles focusing on FM.…”

“…[9,10] Diagnosing FM is challenging due to its atypical manifestations, including chest pain, arrhythmia, and dyspnea. [11] Additionally, FM often affects younger and healthier individuals, making it easier to overlook. [3] FM can result in cardiovascular damage, ventricular dysfunction, cardiogenic shock, progressive hemodynamic instability, and fatal arrhythmias.…”
