Article Synopsis
- The Greek Myocarditis Registry was established to gather data on myocarditis symptoms, treatments, and prognostic factors, contributing to the limited existing knowledge in Greece.
- From December 2015 to November 2017, 146 patient hospitalizations were analyzed; most patients had an infection before hospitalization, with chest pain and tachycardia being the most common symptoms.
- The study found improvements in left ventricular function during hospitalization, and treatment primarily involved beta-blockers and ACE inhibitors, although biopsy procedures were rare.
