GLOSSARY
Myocarditis
Inflammation of heart muscle. It can be mild, with virtually no noticeable symptoms, or more serious, leading to weakening of the heart muscle. It can then cause heart failure (with symptoms of shortness of breath, fatigue, fluid accumulation in the lungs, etc.) as well as heart rhythm irregularities from inflammation and/or scarring of the electrical system of the heart.
