[Long-term outcomes of viral myopericarditis in young patients].
Long-term follow-up (mean 14.1 +/- 6.6 years) of 54 young patients who have undergone acute viral myopericarditis of mild or moderate severity demonstrates a favourable outcomes in the majority of the examinees in spite of residual fibrous changes in the myocardium registered at ECG. Fibrous pericardial thickening detected in 89.4% patients at echocardiography is proposed as a differential-diagnostic indicator of old myopericarditis.
