[Experience with treating nonrheumatic myocarditis patients].

A combined treatment and long-term follow-up of 100 patients with nonrheumatic myocarditis are reported. The assessment of clinical symptoms, ECG, PCG and X-ray findings indicated a tendency to relapses of myocardial pathologic process, cardiosclerotic developments and prolonged compromise of the patient's working capacity. It is concluded that the conventional treatment for myocarditis is not adequate, and further profound research of the disease's pathogenesis is needed.
