Patient's question:
α-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase is high by more than 50, creatine kinase is more than 20, heart sound sometimes fast and chest pain. Past treatment and effectiveness: none. What kind of help is needed: Is it viral myocarditis?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, you should have suffered from myocardial damage. Viral infection can lead to myocardial damage, causing an increase in various myocardial enzymes. The diagnosis of viral myocarditis is very strict, requiring significant changes in the electrocardiogram and severe changes in cardiac percussion. With only elevated α-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase by more than 50 and creatine kinase by more than 20, occasional rapid heartbeat, and chest pain, it is not possible to diagnose viral myocarditis. It is recommended to revisit the hospital, have an electrocardiogram performed, and seek help for diagnosis and treatment.
