Question 1

can a normal ecg, bloodwork and x-ray rule out myocarditis? ecgs show only episodes of sinus tachy w/ normal resting rate.

Accepted Answer

Pretty much: Normal troponin and normal ECG would rule out almost all cases of myocarditis. An echo would clinch it.

Question 2

are extra beats normal after myocarditis. echo and ecg are normal. started during myocarditis, have them during exercise. myo. was year ago. ?

Accepted Answer

Arrhythmia: This depends upon the nature and frequency of the extra beats and it might be necessary to have a 24 hour cardiac monitor placed on you to define these. May be entirely benign but cannot tell without further info.

Question 3

myocarditis test done. *ecg. normal with sinus arrhythmia *echo normal but type 2 diastolic dysfunction *sed rate 22 h *crp 3.70 h *troponin 0.011 normal with these results could 8 have myocarditis and could diastolic dysfunction improve. thanks?

Accepted Answer

: Unfortunately, you did not state medical history which is very important when test results are interpreted. If this person has Covid-19 infection, high ESR and CRP are common. Tropin, EKG and Echocardiogram results are not consistent with myocarditis and diastolic dysfunction is commonly present in hypertensive patients.

Question 4

would a ecg show myocarditis?

Accepted Answer

Myocarditis: ECG is not specific for myocarditis. There are changes which can be seen to add in to a consideration of the diagnosis of myocarditis.

Question 5

is it possible to have myocarditis with a normal ecg?

Accepted Answer

Potentially you: could have a normal EKG early or very late in the progress of the inflammatory response. It is unlikely though and I would anticipate some not subtle changes.

Question 6

does a heart infection like myocarditis show up on ecg or echo?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Typically, there in patients with myocarditis, there are abnormalities on both ECG and echocardiogram.  In fact, if both the ECG and the echocardiogram were normal, the likelihood of myocarditis would be very low.  Typical ECG findings are st and t wave changes, and perhaps low amplitude qrs complexes.  Echocardiographic findings are decrease ventricular function and perhaps pericardial effusion.

Question 7

can a left axial deviation with q wave in ii, iii and avf, and left anterior hemiblock, suggest lower myocardial necrosis caused by a previous, undiagnosed myocarditis? echocardiogram and treadmill ecg are normal and i have never had symptoms of it?

Accepted Answer

: A negative maximal stress test, especially with an associated nuclear scan,&amp; a normal resting echocardiogram are good evidence against having had an old "silent"myocardial infarction&amp;the Q waves in limb leads 2,3&amp;avf  are positional&amp; not pathologic. I did vectorcardiograms in the mid 1960's which could differentiate between positional&amp;pathologic Q waves in inferior leads nicely. No longer availabl

Question 8

could normal ecg rule out myocarditis?

Accepted Answer

Diagnose myocarditis: Myocarditis can be silent on an ekg. If there is also pericarditis, there are subtle changes that can sometimes be seen. Other tests can be done to diagnose myocarditis, including an echocardiogram and a cardiac mri.

Question 9

would troponin levels and ecg be abnormal during myocarditis???

Accepted Answer

Myocarditis. : We would expect troponin and ECG abnormalities with myocarditis.  Inflammation of the myocardium should cause the release of troponin.

Question 10

suffer aniexty had awful depersonalization for a week shaky worried about heart had normal ecgs last year reasurence needed? worried about myocarditis

Accepted Answer

Psychotherapy?: Have you yet tried any form of psychotherapy? Typically, the optimal combination of things to treat emotional issues such as anxiety or depression is medication (which, on your best day, is supposed to take the edge off symptoms) but the real gruntwork takes place in psychotherapist's consulting room.
