Abstract:
A 15 year-old boy who was supposed to have had rheumatic myocarditis manifested acute heart failure and transient left ventricular hypertrophy in the early phases of the disease process. Serial echocardiographic examination was very helpful to follow the clinical course and observe the anatomic and functional changes of the heart in conjunction with the clinical status.
