Symptoms and treatment of myocarditis

Myocarditis is extremely painful, people may feel short of breath, and the heart is seriously damaged. In life, the symptoms and treatment measures of myocarditis are more important, so we cannot be ignorant of myocarditis. Next, we will introduce the symptoms and treatment knowledge of myocarditis, hoping to be helpful to patients.

In fact, myocarditis refers to localized, diffuse, acute, subacute, or chronic disease lesions in people's myocardium. In recent years, many people have developed viral myocarditis, and the incidence rate has been increasing every year. The symptoms and treatment of myocarditis are very important, but the severity of the disease varies among patients, and the manifestations are actually quite different. The condition of infants and young children will worsen, while that of adults will be relatively mild. Mild cases have no obvious symptoms, while severe cases may experience arrhythmias, heart failure, and even sudden death.

Myocarditis is a localized or diffuse inflammation of the myocardium, which may originate in the myocardium or be part of a systemic disease. There are many causes of myocarditis, such as viruses, bacteria, fungi, parasites, immune responses, as well as physical and chemical factors. The most common cause is viral myocarditis, among which enterovirus, especially Coxsackie B virus infection, is the most common.

Strengthen physical exercise, improve the body's disease resistance, and avoid fatigue to prevent viral and bacterial infections. After the onset of the disease, pay attention to rest and eat nutritious food to help the heart recover. Avoiding colds and treating upper respiratory tract infections, chronic pharyngitis, tonsillitis, etc. can help prevent the occurrence of myocarditis. In addition, chemicals such as alcohol can directly cause myocarditis, so do not drink excessively. Patients with myocarditis must abstain from alcohol. Due to the existence of "autoimmune reaction" in myocarditis, the simple level of immunity is not the standard for preventing the disease. Blindly injecting immune biological preparations (vaccines, immune proteins, interferons, interleukins, etc.) not only fails to prevent myocarditis, but may even aggravate the condition, which does more harm than good.

There is still no specific medicine in clinical practice for the symptoms and treatment of myocarditis. Therefore, we must pay attention to protecting our own health in life and must carry out early and comprehensive treatment of the disease. Once a patient is diagnosed with bean myocarditis, he or she should take correct treatment immediately to avoid delaying his or her condition.
