acute isolated myocarditis a frequently fatal, idiopathic, acute myocarditis affecting chiefly the interstitial fibrous tissue.

Fiedler's myocarditis acute isolated myocarditis

giant cell myocarditis a subtype of acute isolated myocarditis characterized by the presence of multinucleate giant cells and other inflammatory cells, and by ventricular dilatation, mural thrombi, and wide areas of necrosis.

granulomatous myocarditis giant cell myocarditis, including also granuloma formation.

hypersensitivity myocarditis that due to allergic reactions caused by hypersensitivity to various agents, particularly sulfonamides, penicillins, and methyldopa.

interstitial myocarditis that affecting chiefly the interstitial fibrous tissue.

Giant Cell Myocarditis

A severe, idiopathic, possibly autoimmune-related inflammatory heart disease of young, otherwise healthy adults, which may be a virally induced immune reaction to underlying encephalitis, hepatitis, infection, intoxication, nutritional defects, thymoma, thyroiditis, Wegener’s granulomatosis, etc.
