Concerning: This could be related to spasm of the coronary artery or even plaque rupture. The stress of hepatitis can lead to plaque rupture. You definitely wanna see a cardiologist and get further evaluated.

Myocarditis: Your ekg in this setting suggests myocarditis. You need and echocardiogram to evaluate left ventricular function and to determine if you have pericardial involvement and you need troponin and CPK enzyme determinations. Treatment is supportive. Rest. Time. Most people recover well.
