In approximately half of the patients, acute myocarditis resolves spontaneously while in the remaining cases, it may evolve into serious complications including inflammatory cardiomyopathy, arrhythmias, death, or heart transplantation. Due to the large variability in clinical presentation, unpredictable course of the disease, and lack of established causative treatment, myocarditis represents a challenging diagnosis in modern cardiology.
