A member asked:
How is drug/alcohol-induced myocardtitis (i.e. non-viral and non-autoimmune) treated? what's the danger in misdiagnosing it as pericarditis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Myo: Means damage to muscle structure, peri means fluid around heart. You abstain from chemicals and with time, medications, there may be improvement.
