Serial two-dimensional and M mode echocardiography was performed on 3 patients with severe acute infectious myocarditis. The patients included 1 female and 2 males aged 38, 55, 70 years. All patients had prodromal symptoms, increased serum cardiac enzyme levels, A-V block, widespread ST elevation in electrocardiograms, and were entering cardiogenic shock. VVI pacing and intraaortic balloon pumping were performed on 2 patients resulting in complete recovery. Coronary angiography and endomyocardial biopsies were performed on 2 patients with normal coronary anatomies and histopathological findings compatible with healing acute myocarditis. Echocardiographic examination was begun within a week of onset of prodromal symptoms in each case. Case 1 showed transient asymmetric septal hypertrophy which normalized later. Case 2 initially exhibited marked left ventricular hypertrophy, followed by a transient decrease of left ventricular wall thickness, and finally recurrence of left ventricular hypertrophy. Case 3 showed no hypertrophy, but mild dilatation of the left ventricle and impaired left ventricular wall motion which later improved. These findings suggest that echocardiographic features in acute infectious myocarditis differ in each case, and change markedly with clinical stages.
