Can myocarditis heal itself?
Myocarditis is an inflammatory disease of the myocardium. Common causes include viral infections, while bacterial and fungal infections can also cause myocarditis, but these are relatively less common. The onset of myocarditis can vary; it may be rapid, occasionally leading to acute heart failure and sudden cardiac death. However, most cases of myocarditis are self-limiting, though they can also progress to dilated cardiomyopathy. For individuals presenting with flu-like symptoms such as fever, general fatigue, muscle soreness, nausea, and vomiting, or other gastrointestinal issues, it is advisable to provide rest and nutritional support treatment. This is because these cold symptoms might also be indicative of myocarditis. Therefore, general treatment, rest, and nutrition should be emphasized for patients with colds.
