- Abstract
In approximately 75% of patients, acute myocarditis presents with chest pain and preserved left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (EF) and has a benign course [[3]]. The long-term outcome of patients receiving an HTx with a history of myocarditis is similar to other etiologies. Conversely, in 25% of patients, myocarditis can have a complicated presentation with LV systolic dysfunction, ventricular arrhythmias, or acute heart failure (HF) [[3]]. Acute myocarditis is generally a time-limited inflammatory injury of the myocardium, mainly affecting adolescents and young adults [[1]].
