How is myocarditis serious?

Whether myocarditis is serious should be judged according to the severity of the patient's condition and whether it has been treated in time and effectively. If the patient's condition is mild, the probability of cure is relatively large and generally not serious. If the patient's condition is severe or fails to receive timely and effective treatment, it may develop into chronic myocarditis, and may also cause heart failure, cardiogenic shock and other diseases, which are usually more serious. This disease is related to pathogen infection, autoimmune factors, physical and chemical factors and other factors, as follows:

1. Pathogen infection caused by viral

infection is more common, followed by bacteria, fungi and other pathogens.

2. Autoimmune factors

Some autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus, patients due to autoimmune abnormalities on their own organs, system damage, may also cause myocarditis.

3. Physical and chemical factors stimulate

patients long-term exposure to radioactive substances, carbon monoxide and other physical factors or long-term use of anticancer drugs, antibiotics and other chemical factors, leading to allergic or toxic reactions, but also easy to cause myocarditis.
