myocarditis refers to a disease in which localized or diffuse inflammatory lesions of the myocardium are the main manifestations. According to the established Dallas criteria, the histological evidence of myocardial infiltration is myocardial inflammatory cell infiltration, accompanied by degeneration and necrosis of adjacent cardiomyocytes. Clinically, patients with myocarditis will have a variety of symptoms, such as heart failure, arrhythmia, etc., which may lead to shock and even sudden death in severe cases.
Therefore, after suffering from myocarditis, you must not take it lightly and actively cooperate with the treatment. Generally speaking, the treatment of myocarditis is mainly symptomatic and supportive treatment, mainly for the comprehensive treatment of shock, heart failure and arrhythmia, especially for patients with fulminant myocarditis. So, specifically, what are the symptoms of myocarditis? What are the symptoms of
myocarditis?
1, fever
myocarditis is divided into many types, and the clinical symptoms are also very different, and the severity of the lesion is different. Patients with milder myocarditis usually have fever and it lasts longer. Therefore, for unexplained fever, it is best to go to the hospital for examination to prevent myocarditis. Myocarditis with mild symptoms of
2, cough
usually has cough symptoms. Cough is a non-specific symptom and may be accompanied by diarrhea. If you have poor heart function, or have been diagnosed with myocarditis, you always need to seek medical treatment in time when you cough repeatedly to see if the condition of myocarditis has worsened. A common symptom of
3, arrhythmia
myocarditis is arrhythmia, and changes in the patient's heart rate can be found through the electrocardiogram. If you have symptoms of arrhythmia for a long time, you need to be alert to myocarditis or other heart diseases, and avoid heavy work or overwork, so as not to seriously affect the arrhythmia.
4, heart failure
Heart failure is a symptom of many heart diseases, indicating that the heart function is seriously impaired. This means that myocarditis is already very serious and requires immediate medical attention. If you do not pay attention to the severity of heart failure, it may develop into cardiogenic shock and even lead to death of patients with myocarditis. How does
diagnose myocarditis?
Although there is no unified international standard for the diagnosis of myocarditis, a variety of diagnostic methods are used to determine the disease, such as clinical manifestations, laboratory examinations, and other auxiliary examinations. It is generally believed that patients suffering from myocarditis will have symptoms of acute chest pain, and may have symptoms of heart failure after a period of onset, accompanied by palpitations, arrhythmias, and cardiogenic shock. If these conditions occur, it is probably myocarditis.
It can be seen that the treatment of myocarditis is urgent and should arouse people's attention. If you find the above symptoms or these symptoms appear at the same time, you need to seek medical attention immediately to avoid damage to your heart health.
