Myocarditis - Frequently Asked Questions

Medically Reviewed by dr. christopher barry, MD, PhD, FACS (USA) on May 06, 2015


Frequently Asked Questions

1. Which doctor should I consult?

If you experience chest pain or breathing difficulty, immediately consult the emergency physician in any nearby hospital. If you have an unexplained weakness for a few days, consult a physician. Advanced or complicated disease will need to be managed by a cardiologist or an intensivist.


2. Is it fatal?

Viral myocarditis usually resolves on its own. But some types of myocarditis such as giant cell myocarditis have a high rate of death, and early, accurate diagnosis is required to prevent complications.
