摘要
Myocarditis is a disease process that every emergency physician fears missing. Its severity can be mild to lifethreatening, and many cases are likely undetected because they are subclinical with nonspecific signs.[1]Subtle cardiac signs may be overshadowed by systemic symptoms of the underlying infectious process. Fever, myalgias, lethargy,symptoms commonly associated with viral syndrome, can mask the life-threatening myocarditis that may be present.
