A case of fulminant myocarditis with three recurrences and recoveries.
Fulminant myocarditis is characterised by acute onset with severe haemodynamic deterioration. With intensive and appropriate bridging management, the prognosis is better than classic forms of myocarditis. Here, we report a patient who suffered from fulminant myocarditis 3 times over the last 8 years with recovery each time.
