Acute myocarditis is a serious illness affecting a young population with a very variable course (of full recovery at the onset of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), or even sudden death). Very few studies have examined the predictors of death and serious cardiovascular events in acute myocarditis and have carried on numbers of restricted patients. What little data results in a lack of a precise recommendation on the management and the follow-up period of patients. This observational study should identify serious prognostic factor for cardiovascular events in order to provide a support strategy and more appropriate monitoring of myocarditis.
