That the heart could be implicated in mumps was first suggested in 1918 by Pujol.7This author, during a nine-month period, observed 450 cases of mumps, 12 of whom had circulatory disturbances. Nine of these had associated heart disease, attributable to different etiologies. The remaining three, because of the development of substernal pain and dyspnea during the convalescent period, were believed to have myocarditis secondary to their mumps infection. These initial clinical observations, unfortunately, could not be corroborated electrocardiographically. Additional...Bibliography1.
