Myocarditis is an inflammatory process-a lesion in the cardiac muscle-myocardium. The disease occurs in adults and children. The most common is infectious myocarditis, because at the heart of any myocarditis lies infectious beginning.
Among the diseases that cause myocarditis, rheumatism comes first, followed by sepsis, diphtheria and typhus. Recently, new forms of viral myocarditis, caused by some viruses, have appeared.
Non-infectious myocarditis occurs less frequently and occurs when exposed to foreign protein. So, myocarditis can occur after taking sulfonamide drugs, or the introduction of serum, provided that the body is sensitized against these drugs, i.e. when they act as allergens( allergic type of the disease).
Here we will talk about the most common infectious rheumatic myocarditis, its symptoms and treatment in hospital hospitals and at home.

Signs and symptoms of myocarditis
Clinical patternsand myocarditis depends on the form of the disease. Sometimes the symptoms of breach of myocardial contractility and the syndrome of cardiovascular insufficiency come to the fore. Patients are concerned about shortness of breath, stagnant cough, swelling. The face of such patients is puffy, has a cyanotic appearance, a pulse of small filling and is much more frequent.
In severe forms, very severe arrhythmias are observed( three-point rhythm or "canter rhythm" may occur).
If the inflammation has captured a small part of the heart muscle, then the violations of the contractility of the heart are weak and sometimes absent and the disturbance of conduction appears to the fore - atrial fibrillation, tachycardia.
Arterial pressure in myocarditis in patients is usually reduced, as well as venous, so these patients are prone to a sharp drop in pressure, ie, to collapse.
Treatment of of acute myocarditis should be performed only in specialized medical institutions. Treatment with medicinal plants and folk methods is only auxiliary.
Of all types of myocarditis, it is necessary to dwell on its most frequent form - rheumatic myocarditis.
Rheumatic myocarditis is always a consequence of a previous rheumatic attack. This form is relatively rarely accompanied by cardiovascular failure. The main complaint of patients are pain in the heart. Pain is usually prolonged, occurs periodically and increases with physical activity. They do not give such a picture, what happens with angina pectoris, but they are stupid and permanent.
Rheumatic myocarditis occurs with a disturbance in rhythm and conductivity. Cardiovascular failure occurs only in the most neglected cases.
Myocarditis in a child and an adult is unacceptable to treat independently without medical examination and consultations of a cardiologist! The folk recipes listed below should be used only with the permission of a doctor!

It is necessary to influence not only the etiological, but also the pathogenetic factor.
The regime is usually bedding.

Elena Malysheva: symptoms and treatment of myocarditis
In this issue of the TV program "Live healthy!" With Elena Malysheva you will learn what myocarditis is and how to deal with it.
Myocarditis is an inflammation of the heart muscle caused by a common viral infection. Myocarditis can lead to the destruction of the heart muscle
The virus that enters the body, carries with blood flow and can get into the heart muscle, lead to the development of an inflammatory reaction and the destruction of muscle.
Symptoms of myocarditis : 1) Muscle weakening leads to poor heart contraction, blood supply disorders, edema and shortness of breath.2) Violation of the function of the conduction system of the heart leads to arrhythmia.
Prevention of myocarditis : Get a flu shot to prevent the development of myocarditis.
How to treat : There is no specific treatment for myocarditis. Most often this disease passes by itself. In the presence of severe heart failure, heart transplantation may be required.
Review of : Dmitry Braga: I forgot about pains in my heart without pills. After visiting a doctor, after another attack, I was diagnosed with "Myocarditis infectious".I do not accept treatment with pills, because they treat one, maim the other. Treatment with folk remedies was reduced to decoction of chamomile and calming collection. It helped, but not for long, I just blocked the attacks, but did not treat. Then, on the Internet, I learned about bioresonance therapy and bought a special device. And I'm glad to report that my heart problems have disappeared without a trace.
