Acute myocarditis may mimic an infarction. Aim is to describe a case series of peculiar myocarditis. From 1997 to 2003, 11 male patients (age 17-39 years) were admitted with diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction, localized ST segment elevation and minimal enzyme release. Ten patients had fever in the 3 days prior to admission. Eight patients underwent coronary angiography showing normal coronary arteries. All remained asymptomatic at long term follow-up. In conclusion, myocarditis with ST elevation myocardial infarction presentation is an acute benign syndrome especially frequent in young males.
急性心肌炎可能会被误诊为心肌梗死。目的是描述一系列特殊心肌炎病例。1997年至2003年，11名男性患者（年龄17 - 39岁）因急性心肌梗死、局限性ST段抬高和最小酶释放而入院。10名患者在入院前3天出现发热。8名患者接受冠状动脉造影显示冠状动脉正常。所有患者在长期随访中均无症状。总之，表现为ST段抬高型心肌梗死的心肌炎是一种急性良性综合征，在年轻男性中尤为常见。
