Fulminant myocarditis is a rare but serious condition that affects the heart muscle, causing it to become inflamed and to stop functioning properly.
This can result in sudden cardiac arrest, which is a medical emergency. Parents who are concerned that their child may be suffering from fulminant myocarditis should seek medical attention as soon as possible.
A cardiologist will be able to diagnose the condition and recommend appropriate treatment. Early recognition and prompt treatment are critical for the best outcome in children with fulminant myocarditis.
