Background: Acute myocarditis/perimyocarditis presents with a variable prognosis ranging from complete recovery to end-stage heart failure (HF), sudden cardiac arrest, and death. The relationship between a prior history of myocarditis/perimyocarditis and outcomes in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest remains unclear.
Methods And Results: Using the SCRR (Swedish Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Registry), we analyzed 54 568 cases of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest from 2010 to 2020 where cardiopulmonary resuscitation was attempted.

Background: Campylobacter is known to be the leading cause of foodborne illness. Campylobacter jejuni, specifically, most commonly causes self-limiting enterocolitis, but infection can lead to extraintestinal manifestations, including rare yet severe cardiac complications, such as myocarditis and/or pericarditis. This review aims to determine whether a relationship exists between the timing of a positive stool culture and the overall clinical course in patients with Campylobacter jejuni-associated myocarditis and/or pericarditis.

A 20-year-old male patient with ulcerative proctitis presented with a fever and chest pain. He was diagnosed with rubella-associated myopericarditis due to pericardial rub, elevated troponin I, ST elevation, and positive rubella-immunoglobulin M. The patient subsequently developed cardiac tamponade but responded well to pericardial drainage and antiinflammatory therapy.

Perimyocarditis and myopericarditis are inflammatory conditions of the pericardium and myocardium, often of idiopathic or infectious etiology, with viral infections being the most common. Nonrheumatic streptococcal myopericarditis (NSM) is a rare condition that can mimic acute myocardial infarction. This case report presents a 22-year-old male with no prior medical history who developed NSM following a streptococcal pharyngitis infection.

Article Synopsis
- A young Asian man presented with chest pain and a recent history of flu-like symptoms, despite testing negative for COVID-19.
- His tests indicated significant heart issues, including abnormal ECG readings, elevated troponin levels, and moderate left ventricular dysfunction, leading doctors to suspect perimyocarditis and coronary artery disease.
- After further imaging and procedures, including a coronary angiogram and treatment for his heart condition, the man had a partial success with an ablation for an accessory pathway and was discharged in stable condition.
