Implication

May prompt consideration of acute interstitial myocarditis in post-infectious failure; leaves open modern diagnostic and therapeutic validation.

Key Points

  • Review the clinical manifestations, historical pathology, and diagnostic presentations of acute interstitial myocarditis following its identification by Fiedler.
  • Reviewed 36 postmortem case studies reported in continental literature alongside initial United States case reports.
  • Assessed associated clinical histories, nomenclature, and preceding infectious triggers in documented cases.
  • Identified that acute interstitial myocarditis typically presents as rapid and progressive myocardial failure, presenting with or without chest pain.
  • Demonstrated that the onset of severe myocardial failure frequently emerges during or shortly following acute localized or widespread systemic infections.
