I rarely say things like this, but everything you have said here in this article is totally wrong and quite stupid, and borders on disinformation.
People who are having heart problems usually feel the adverse effects and go to the hospital on their own. Don't wait if you sense a problem. I've
have spent $600,000 of heart operations and now am in pretty good condition adding 20 years to my life.
Diagnosis Method:
Early diagnosis of myocarditis is important to preventing long-term heart damage. After a physical examination, your doctor might order one or more
tests to confirm that you have myocarditis and determine its severity. Tests to diagnose myocarditis might include:
Electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG). This quick and painless test shows your heart's electrical patterns and can detect abnormal heartbeats.
Chest X-ray. An X-ray image shows the size and shape of your heart, as well as whether you have fluid in or around the heart that might be related to
heart failure.
Heart MRI (Cardiac MRI). A cardiac MRI shows your heart's size, shape and structure. This test can show signs of inflammation of the heart muscle.
Echocardiogram. Sound waves create moving images of the beating heart. An echocardiogram can show your heart size and how well your heart is pumping.
The test can also reveal valve problems, a clot within the heart or fluid around your heart.
Blood tests. Blood tests used to diagnose or confirm myocarditis include a complete blood count and a test to check the levels of certain proteins
(enzymes) that signal heart muscle damage. Other blood tests can be done to determine if you have antibodies against viruses and other organisms that
might cause a myocarditis-related infection.
Cardiac catheterization and heart muscle biopsy. A small tube (catheter) is inserted into a vein in your leg or neck and
threaded into your heart. In some cases, doctors use a special instrument to remove a tiny sample of heart muscle tissue (biopsy) for analysis in the
lab to check for inflammation or infection.
