What Is Myocarditis?
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
10. Treatment
Myocarditis will often pass on its own without treatment, and the patient may not even have been aware that they had it. Even when symptoms are present, the patient will often make a complete recovery with no lasting damage done. Treatment is necessary in a lot of cases, however.
Treatment for myocarditis will depend largely on the underlying cause of the condition. It will often involve medication such as antibiotics or antiviral medicines. The patient should also avoid taking part in activities such as exercise until cleared by a health professional. It may also be necessary to treat complications of the disease, such as heart failure, if they are present.
