Abstract

Inflammation of the pericardium due to either an infectious or non-infectious etiology, which is known as pericarditis. About 1% of hospitalized patients had this illness, and 5% of those patients complained of chest discomfort. About one-third of individuals with acute pericarditis had cardiac involvement, suggesting that the two diseases may have similar etiologies. We describe a 19-year-old man who experienced chest discomfort and was later diagnosed with myopericarditis. Empirical treatment utilizing NSAIDs and colchicine produced excellent outcomes in terms of symptom relief, ECG improvement, and CRP decrease. To reduce morbidity and mortality from sudden cardiac death, it is critical to recognize the signs and symptoms that fit the criteria for myopericarditis..
