Epidemiology

The exact incidence of myocarditis is unknown. However, in series of routine autopsies, 1–9% of all patients had evidence of myocardial inflammation. In young adults, up to 20% of all cases of sudden death are due to myocarditis.

In South America, Chagas' disease (caused by Trypanosoma cruzi) is the main cause of myocarditis.
