Question

How severe is myocarditis in newborns? What are the causes of this inflammation in newborns? Is myocarditis a type of heart disease? When should treatment begin?

Answer

If a newborn is diagnosed with myocarditis, the condition is indeed relatively severe. If not properly recovered, it may lead to complications such as heart failure. Therefore, it is recommended to start treatment as soon as possible, primarily through the selection and application of medications that nourish the myocardium, while also considering the use of drugs to promote blood circulation. In severe cases, blood transfusion treatment can also be considered.
