Why the study?
Myocarditis can present solely with arrhythmias alongside normal biomarkers, ECG, echocardiography, and inflammatory markers, complicating diagnosis and management.
Population
One 7-year-old patient with ventricular arrhythmias in the setting of viral myocarditis
Comparison
Temporary wearable defibrillator use

Maintain high suspicion for myocarditis in young unexplained arrest despite normal testing; leaves open prognostic role of MRI normalization pending prospective data.
In young patients with ventricular arrhythmias due to viral myocarditis, a wearable defibrillator may be a preferable temporary alternative to an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator.
