Myocarditis and Inflammatory Cardiomyopathy in Dilated Heart Failure.

ABSTRACT: Inflammatory cardiomyopathy is a condition that is characterised by the presence of inflammatory cells in the myocardium, which can lead to a significant deterioration in cardiac function. The etiology of this condition involves multiple factors, both infectious and non-infectious causes. While it is primarily associated with viral infections, other potential causes include bacterial, protozoal, or fungal infections, as well as a wide variety of toxic substances and drugs, and systemic immune-mediated pathological conditions.

The reasons for the occurrence of either favourable outcomes, charac
