CONTEMPORARY MASKS OF THE MYOCARDITIS (FROM CLINICAL SIGNS TO DIAGNOSIS)

Clear connection of cardial symptomathic with an infection is the most specific sign of myocarditis, though its absence does not rule out the diagnosis. Using biopsy and complex algorhythm of diagnostics developed on the basis of biopsy we have usually seen these types: 1. Latent (without decompensation and general inflammatory changes) myocarditis in patients with so-called idiopathic rhythm and conduction disorders including atrial fibrillation; 2. Various clinical course and immunity-involvement types in patients with the dilated cardiomyopathy; 3. Paraneoplastic myocarditis; 4. Myocarditis with infarction-like manifesting (as acute and benevolent in its course and prognosis, as chronic with the outcome into severe heart failure), microvascular angina, and combination of myocarditis with coronary
