Overview
Brief Summary
Presentation, Clinical Course and Patterns of Myocardial Damage due to Viral Myocarditis
Detailed Description
1. Determine the pattern of myocarditis in hospitalized patients with acute HF within the last 3 months. 2. Determine the pattern of broad spectrum cardiotropic viruses in patients with acute HF within the last 3 months. These viruses like enteroviruses, adenoviruses and parvo B19 virus, HBV, HCV and Covid 19 virus due to its increased prevelance nowadays.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Determine the pattern of myocarditis in hospitalized patients with acute HF within the last 3 months
Time Frame: 6 months
All patients admitted with symptoms , signs and echocardiographic finding suggesting myocarditis within 3 months from start of the symptoms. as acute heart failure, arrhythmias, typical chest pain with ST segment deviation in ECG . dilated cardiomyopathy associated with normal Coronary Angiography, history of upper respiratory tract infection within the last 3 months.
