Rotavirus-Associated Myocarditis in an Immunocompetent Adult: A Case Report.
Cureus
December 2024
Internal Medicine, Weiss Memorial Hospital, Chicago, USA.
A previously healthy, 28-year-old man presented with a two-day history of diarrhea and chest pain, suggestive of infectious myocarditis. Initial workup revealed elevated troponin-I levels and diffuse ST-segment elevations on electrocardiogram (ECG). Transthoracic echocardiography showed a reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (40-45%), posteroinferior wall akinesis, and a small pericardial effusion.

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.
A Unique Presentation of Bacterial Group G Streptococcus Myopericarditis.
J Investig Med High Impact Case Rep

St. Joseph's University Medical Center, Paterson, NJ, USA.
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.
New-Onset Graves' Disease Presenting As Thyro-Pericarditis.
Cureus
July 2024
Cardiology, Northwell Cardiovascular Institute, New Hyde Park, USA.
Acute perimyocarditis is commonly preceded by viral illness and presents with non-specific complaints that can be a manifestation of serious cardiac complications such as arrhythmias and heart failure. While pericarditis is a known complication of thyrotoxicosis, termed "thyrotoxic pericarditis," concomitant new-onset perimyocarditis and Graves' disease, termed "thyro-pericarditis," has been reported. We present a case of thyro-pericarditis as the initial presentation of undiagnosed and untreated Graves' disease co-occurring with recent Coxsackievirus A and B infection.
