A clinical case of infarction-like myocarditis

Background. Currently, myocarditis is one of the poorly studied nosological forms, a problem with a large number of unresolved issues. The polymorphism of clinical presentation, the risks of invasive studies necessary to confirm the diagnosis, the need for expensive modern imaging methods, and the lack of an adequate evidence base for the treatment of myocarditis with a verified diagnosis - all of these things determine the challenges in managing patients with myocarditis. Description of the clinical case. This article presents a clinical case of acute focal myocarditis with an infarction-like clinical course of disease in a young patient. Conclusion. The presented clinical case illustrates the fact that a careful clinical approach using modern research methods is a necessary basis for determining the correct tactics of patient management even in the era of randomized trials and clinical recommendations.
