“…5,6) These ECG abnormalities do not always resolve completely and persist into the late phase. [7][8][9] In a study by Smith 8) that followed 22 patients with Coxsackie B myocarditis for 6 months to 6 years, 6 patients had persistent ECG abnormalities. We also have described a patient with myocarditis with advanced AV block and severe cardiac failure during the acute phase, with the AV block persisting in the late phase but no wall motion abnormalities.…”

“…[7][8][9] However, despite the fact that AV block develops in some patients with myocardial disease, few studies 10) have been performed to detect myocardial lesions in patients with conduction disturbances. The present study was therefore performed to analyze myocardial lesions histologically in a large series of patients with AV conduction disturbances.…”

Evaluation of viral myocarditis is essential for the clinician to assess the prognosis. In this study, Tl-201 myocardial scintigraphy and Tc-99m gated cardiac blood pool scan were performed in 16 patients with myocarditis diagnosed by clinical symptoms and laboratory findings and these nuclear medicine techniques were followed up for 5 years. Exercise Tl-201 scintigraphy using a bicycle ergometer was performed in 8 patients by SPECT imaging. There were mild to severe persistent defects found in all cases (100%), but pressure rate products showed normal response. The Tl-201 defect ratio improved gradually, but did not change significantly. In the resting Tl-201 image one of 16 patients showed severe multifocal defects. LVEF increased significantly from 1 year to 5 years after onset, while RVEF measured by gated blood pool scans showed slight increases 3 years to 5 years after diagnosis. It was concluded that myocardial perfusion improved only incompletely. Cardiac function (LVEF and RVEF) improved gradually, and pressure rate products were normal. Myocarditis should therefore be followed up in order to assess the prognosis; moreover, the relationship of myocarditis to dilated cardiomyopathy needs to be further studied.

Acute myocarditis is one of the most challenging diagnoses and treatments in cardiology. The acute viral myocarditis diagnosis is usually based on high suspicion, history taking, and physical examination. Likewise, the use of chest radiography, electrocardiography (ECG), and echocardiography is helpful in making a final diagnosis, but all are non-specific. In addition, in imaging query, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) depicts some degree of cardiac inflammation in the course of myocarditis.Myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) has also been shown to be useful in diagnosis, and this noninvasive technique diminishes the need for myocardial biopsy. The current study presents the diagnostic and prognostic role of MPI in a 25-year-old patient
