Myocarditis is a focal or diffuse inflammatory process of the myocardium. Along with the deepening of research, there are new technological advances which are useful to the diagnosis and treatment of myocarditis. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging has become a useful noninvasive imaging tool for diagnosis of myocarditis, but does not replace endomyocardial biopsy. The supportive treatment has remained the mainstay of therapy for patients with myocarditis, especially with fulminant myocarditis, including the comprehensive treatment of shock, heart failure, and arrhythmia. Due to the lack of large clinical data, diagnosis and treatment for myocarditis remains to be further explored.

Acute pericarditis usually presents with chest pain and diffuse ST segment elevation on ECG. Several reports indicate that large numbers of patients with a diagnosis of acute pericarditis have elevated troponin I, a sensitive and highly specific marker for cardiac injury, and this suggests a high incidence of concomitant, otherwise, silent myocarditis. This case patient had elevated troponin I which is a biomarker of myocardial injury and injury pattern of ST segment elevation on ECG accompanied in military tuberculosis.

A 68 year-old woman was admitted due to chest pain with dyspnea. Transthoracic echocardiography showed isolated right ventricular dysfunction. Coronary angiogram was normal. Cardiac enzyme was elevated persistently. Under the supposed diagnosis of acute idiopathic myocarditis, she was treated with supportive care but symptom and cardiac enzyme was not improved. After steroid pulse therapy, symptom was improved and cardiac enzyme was normalized. She was discharged with improvement of symptoms.
