Y1 - 2017 N1 - T2 - Hurst's The Heart, 14e AB - The term myocarditis describes the presence of inflammatory cells in the myocardium and implies that the presenting clinical phenotype is attributable to myocardial inflammation. Therefore, myocarditis is diagnosed when myocardial inflammation is proven and there are clinical manifestations that can be causally linked to the inflammatory substrate. The descriptive diagnosis of myocarditis encompasses a wide spectrum of etiologically different diseases that share, as unique criterion, the presence of myocardial inflammation.
