The term “Myocarditis” comes from the heart muscle named Myocardium. When a bacterial, fungal or viral infection in
the muscle causes frequent inflammation in the heart muscle then it is called Myocarditis.
How will you know if you are affected with Myocarditis?
There are different types of symptoms that can occur to elderly people and also to children at a tender age.
1. For elders:
The common symptoms that can occur in the elderly people are:
• Rapidness or irregularity in heartbeat. It is also called Arrhythmias in medical science.
• Extreme and intolerable chest pain
• Shortness of breath can be a symptom
• Fatigue can be noticed
• In the legs, ankles, and feet certain fluid will build up and it can cause swelling of those body portions
• The symptoms of viral infections like headache, body ache, joint pains, sore throat, fever, and diarrhea.

The Causes
There are various reasons why Myocarditis can occur at any age. There are some potential reasons which can cause
Myocarditis.
• Virus:
Hepatitis B and C virus, Covid-19 virus, Parvovirus, Herpes Simplex Virus and Adenovirus (that cause common cold and
fever) are responsible for Myocarditis.

• Fungi:
People who are immune-compromised can get attacked easily. Yeast infection Candida, Molds, Aspergillus, and
Histoplasma can cause myocarditis sometimes.
• Parasites:
Trypanosoma cruzi and toxoplasma can cause myocarditis. Other parasites that can cause Chagas disease can also
be a reason behind Myocarditis.
• Bacteria:
Staphylococcus and streptococcus can mostly cause myocarditis. However, a bacterium related to Lyme disease
and Diphtheria can also bring trouble.

Health Issues Associated with Myocarditis
There are possibilities of serious heart problems if myocarditis is not treated at an
early stage.
• Heart Failure:
Myocarditis does not allow the heart muscle to pump the blood and it can cause,
in severe cases, heart failure.
• Cardiac Arrest:
Myocarditis can cause irregular heart rhythms that can lead you to sudden cardiac
arrest.

• Heart Attack or Stroke:
The inflammation of the heart does not allow the blood flow to be unobstructed. It creates clots within arteries. That can
block the arteries or valves of the heart. Sometimes, the clots block the arteries carrying blood to the brain, which leads to
stroke.
The Diagnosis
Bangalore, Hyderabad, and Chennai have some multispecialty hospitals that cure Myocarditis and prevent the chances of
death due to it. The following steps can be followed:
1. Doctor:
The best thing is to always go to a doctor for regular check-ups. There are some best cardiologists in Hyderabad. There are
many doctors though, outside Hyderabad.
2. Surgeon:
If the Doctor suggests any surgeries then we have to look for the best cardiothoracic surgeon in Hyderabad. Dr. AGK Gokhale
is one of the reputed and professional doctors over there.
