==Overview==
Life-threatening causes of myocarditis include [[carbon monoxide poisoning]] and [[Dengue fever]].  Common causes of myocarditis include bacterial infections, [[Lyme disease]], and medications.  Idiopathic myocarditis is the most common type of myocarditis and is often suspected to be secondary to a [[viral]] infection.

Editor-In-Chief: C. Michael Gibson, M.S., M.D. [1]; Associate Editor(s)-in-Chief: Varun Kumar, M.B.B.S. Ogheneochuko Ajari, MB.BS, MS [2] Homa Najafi, M.D.[3]

Overview

Life-threatening causes of myocarditis include carbon monoxide poisoning and Dengue fever. Common causes of myocarditis include bacterial infections, Lyme disease, and medications. Idiopathic myocarditis is the most common type of myocarditis and is often suspected to be secondary to a viral infection.

Causes

Life Threatening Causes

Life-threatening causes include conditions which may result in death or permanent disability within 24 hours if left untreated.[1]
