Abstract

Viral aggression is the most frequent cause of myocarditis, whether direct or immuno-mediated. Polymerase chain reaction on endomyocardial biopsy, have allowed to know which agents are mainly involved. However, its low diagnostic performance, has promoted different studies with non-invasive imaging techniques. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging is currently the diagnostic tool of choice. In most cases the evolution is benign, although in some cases it can lead to a chronic evolution and dilated cardiomyopathy.
