Stokes-Adams attacks due to acute nonspecific myocarditis in childhood. 1980

Six patients aged between 1 to 11 years (4 females and 2 males) developed Stokes-Adams attacks with complete heart block due to acute nonspecific myocarditis. Transvenous pacing was instituted in 2 patients, but in the other 4 patients the ECG returned to normal by isoproterenol. All ECGs in complete heart block showed QRS complexes of right bundle branch block with left posterior hemiblock pattern, except for 1 which showed QRS complexes of complete left bundle branch block pattern. The ECG improved sequentially in order and left anterior hemiblock pattern of QRS complexes remained to the last during the convalescent period. Normal atrioventricular conduction returned by 2 to 24 hours in all but 1 patient who was dead and 1 of the 2 patients with shock. In another patient bifascicular block has persisted.

D009205 Myocarditis Inflammatory processes of the muscular walls of the heart (MYOCARDIUM) which result in injury to the cardiac muscle cells (MYOCYTES, CARDIAC). Manifestations range from subclinical to sudden death (DEATH, SUDDEN). Myocarditis in association with cardiac dysfunction is classified as inflammatory CARDIOMYOPATHY usually caused by INFECTION, autoimmune diseases, or responses to toxic substances. Myocarditis is also a common cause of DILATED CARDIOMYOPATHY and other cardiomyopathies. Carditis,Myocarditides
