Isolated myocarditis is an inflammatory heart disease caused by an infection of the heart muscle, usually by a virus. it can also be caused by an autoimmune reaction, in which the body's own immune system attacks the heart muscle. it can be a life-threatening condition if left untreated, and can lead to heart failure, arrhythmias, and even death.
What happens during the disease - isolated myocarditis
Isolated myocarditis is an inflammatory disease of the heart muscle caused by a variety of infectious agents, including viruses, bacteria, fungi, and parasites. the infectious agents can enter the heart muscle directly or through the bloodstream, and cause an inflammatory response that can lead to damage to the heart muscle cells. this damage can cause the heart muscle to become weak, resulting in decreased ability to pump blood, arrhythmias, and decreased heart function.
