AB The  term  myocarditis  describes  the  presence  of  inflammatory  cells  in  the  myocardium  and  implies  that  the  presenting  clinical  phenotype  is  attributable  to  myocardial  inflammation.  Therefore,  myocarditis  is  diagnosed  when  myocardial  inflammation  is  proven  and  there  are  clinical  manifestations  that  can  be  causally  linked  to  the  inflammatory  substrate.  The  descriptive  diagnosis  of  myocarditis  encompasses  a  wide  spectrum  of  etiologically  different  diseases  that  share,  as  unique  criterion,  the  presence  of  myocardial  inflammation.
