Abstract
The clinical presentation of viral myocarditis is variable. When myocardial necrosis is diffuse, congestive heart failure develops, and later, dilated cardiomyopathy. If the myocardial lesions are localized, a ventricular aneurysm forms. When complicated by arrhythmias, myocarditis presents as arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy. When myocardial necrosis is localized to the subendocardial region, restrictive cardiomyopathy may develop. While it has not been established that hypertrophic cardiomyopathy may be a complication of viral myocarditis, asymmetrical septal hypertrophy has, in fact, sometimes been observed in patients with myocarditis. The importance of hepatitis C virus infection has recently been noted in patients with myocarditis, dilated and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
