Myocarditis is an inflammatory disease of the myocardium with high morbidity and mortality; however, definite prognostic factors are still unclear. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the predictor of clinical outcomes of acute myocarditis focusing on electrocardiographic findings. The overall result of the study consists of a total of 51 patients demonstrated that wide QRS duration is a meaningful factor for predicting the fulminant course of acute myocarditis. This finding may encourage timely mechanical support resulting in better clinical outcomes.
心肌炎是一种心肌炎症性疾病,发病率和死亡率都很高;然而,确切的预后因素仍不清楚。因此,我们旨在评估急性心肌炎患者的临床结局预测因素,重点是心电图发现。这项研究的总体结果共包括 51 例患者,表明宽 QRS 持续时间是预测急性心肌炎暴发性病程的有意义因素。这一发现可能鼓励及时进行机械支持,从而获得更好的临床结果。
