Patient's question:
A few days ago, my brother just finished recovering from a fever, but there was a group health check-up at his workplace. During the health check-up, an electrocardiogram was performed, and it was found that he had myocarditis. I'm wondering which department to see for myocarditis. I really don't know which department it belongs to. Could you please advise the doctor? Does myocarditis have any relation to fever and inflammation?Doctor's answer:
If you have carefully checked the Sunday holiday, in this case, you can register at the cardiovascular department when going to the hospital for a follow-up visit. Because the heart falls within the treatment scope of the cardiovascular department. Generally, viral myocarditis is primarily caused by symptoms of the heart after a viral infection and fever. It is usually manifested as palpitations, shortness of breath, and fatigue. Generally, diagnosis can be made through an electrocardiogram and myocardial enzyme tests. After diagnosis, the main treatment is rest and cardiac nutrition.
