Overview
Myocarditis was first discovered by Jean Baptiste Senac, a French physiscian, in 1794. The term myocarditis was introduced by German physician Joseph Friedrich Sobernheim in 1837. In 1980s, World Health Organization and the International Society and Federation of Cardiology were the first to differentiate between myocarditis and other cardiomyopathies. The Dallas criteria was published in 1986 as a guideline for classification of myocarditis.
Historical Perspective
- Cases of myocarditis have been documented as early as the 1600s.[1]
- The term myocarditis was introduced by German physician Joseph Friedrich Sobernheim in 1837.[1]
- The Dallas criteria was published in 1986 as a guideline for classification of myocarditis.[2]
Overview
In 1749, inflammation of the heart and the difficulty in discerning such was described by a physician, Jean Baptiste Senac in Versailles, France, in his work entitled Traité des Maladies du Coeur (Treatise on Disease of the Heart). The term myocarditis was ultimately coined by Joseph Freidrich Sobernheim in 1837; however, the use of this term included other cardiomyopathies that were previously undocumented including ischemic heart disease and hypertensive heart disease. It was not until the 1980s that the World Health Organization and the International Society and Federation of Cardiology attempted to differentiate between myocarditis and other cardiomyopathies.
