We describe the case of a 31-year-old male who came to the emergency department complaining of marked bilateral lower extremities edema, dyspnea, fatigue, and exertion intolerance. Strategies for the management of viral myocarditis with acute heart failure include pharmacological therapies and mechanical circulatory assist devices if required. Despite multiple available diagnostic methods and treatments, viral myocarditis remains as an etiology of challenging diagnosis, and poor prognosis with a high mortality rate.
我们描述了一名31岁男性的病例，他因双侧下肢明显水肿、呼吸困难、疲劳和运动不耐受前来急诊科就诊。病毒性心肌炎合并急性心力衰竭的治疗策略包括药物治疗以及必要时使用机械循环辅助装置。尽管有多种可用的诊断方法和治疗手段，但病毒性心肌炎仍然是一种诊断具有挑战性、预后差且死亡率高的病因。
