Int Heart J. 2010 May;51(3):218-9. doi: 10.1536/ihj.51.218.

Abstract

Fulminant myocarditis is characterised by acute onset with severe haemodynamic deterioration. With intensive and appropriate bridging management, the prognosis is better than classic forms of myocarditis. Here, we report a patient who suffered from fulminant myocarditis 3 times over the last 8 years with recovery each time.
