Overview
Myocarditis can be classified clinicopathologically into Fulminant myocarditis, Acute myocarditis, Chronic active myocarditis and Chronic persistent myocarditis.
Clinicopathological classification[1]
- Fulminant myocarditis - Occurs after a viral prodrome. May present as acute severe cardiovascular compromise with ventricular dysfunction. The prognosis is good if the patients survive acute illness[2].
- Acute myocarditis - Presents with less distinct onset of illness with ventricular dysfunction. They may progress to dilated cardiomyopathy.
- Chronic active myocarditis - Has a less distinct onset of illness, with clinical and histologic relapses and development of ventricular dysfunction. Histologically, chronic inflammatory changes with mild to moderate fibrosis may be noted.
- Chronic persistent myocarditis - It is of less distinct onset. It is characterized with persistent histologic infiltration and myocyte necrosis without ventricular dysfunction despite the presence of symptoms.
