Detailed Information on Myocarditis
Myocarditis is often associated with pericarditis, and many patients present with signs and symptoms that suggest concurrent myocarditis and pericarditis.
Myocarditis is collection of diseases of infectious, toxic, and autoimmune etiologies characterized by inflammation of the heart. Myocarditis can be caused by a diversity of infections and conditions such as viruses, sarcoidosis, and immune diseases (systemic lupus, etc.), pregnancy, and others. The most familiar cause of myocarditis is infection of the heart muscle by a virus. The virus invades the heart muscle to cause local inflammation. After the initial infection subsides, the body’s immune system continues to inflict inflammatory damage to the heart muscle. This inflammation can be caused by infectious agents, toxins, drugs or for unknown reasons.

Complete Information on Chaotic atrial tachycardia
Multifocal atrial tachycardia, also designated “chaotic atrial tachycardia,”.
Multifocal atrial tachycardia (MAT) is an arrhythmia with an irregular atrial rate greater than 100 beats per minute (bpm). Atrial activity is well organized, with at least 3 morphologically distinct P waves, irregular P-P intervals, and an isoelectric baseline between the P waves. The arrhythmia developed during an acute illness in 18 cases (58%). However, it occasionally occurred in paroxysms without an apparent cause in patients with chronic disease. The arrhythmia was not associated with digitalis toxicity or with rhythm disturbances.
