Introduction In most cases, myocarditis is part of the manifestations of multiple organ damage in systemic pathological processes. In accordance with the main reasons, all myocarditis is divided into 3 groups:
– infectious (infectious toxic);
– allergic (immunopathological, autoimmune);
– toxic and allergic. Myocarditis is often associated with endocarditis and pericarditis. In the last
10–15 years, not so much an increase in the incidence of myocarditis has been noted, but a change in the structure of this pathology. In a number of regions of
our country, non-rheumatic forms almost double the incidence of rheumatic myocarditis.
