A member asked:
Should myocarditis be easily detected with a echo or is more comprehensive test needed? and if infection has passed is damage still detectable?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Difficult diagnosis: Myocarditis diagnosis relies mainly on a detailed history ; physical. Echo should detect damage, but the cause of damage may remain unclear. Heart biopsy can rarely be used, but the test is low yield ; the risk of procedure often doesn't outweigh potential benefits. There may be delay in heart damage after myocarditis has passed. In addition heart damage often recovers.
