The inflammation of the heart muscles is caused by the virus, fungi,
bacteria, food, smoke, air, and parasites that increase the inflammatory conditions in
the heart muscles known as inflammatory heart disease. Endocarditis is an infection
that occurs in the inner lining of the heart valves. Endocarditis commonly occurs by the
bacteria, fungi or other microbial species present in the body, reaches the blood stream
and leads to damaging the heart. Myocarditis is an inflammation of the myocardium
which is present in the middle layer of the heart. It is caused by a viral species
infection. The clinical manifestations of the myocarditis include chest pain, fatigue,
edema, breathlessness, joint pain, fever, weakness, palpitations and abnormal heart
rhythms. Pericarditis is a clinical condition in which the cell membrane around the
heart is inflamed. The more amount of fluid deposit around the heart may increase the
risk of inflammation and causes pericarditis. The electrocardiogram, chest x-ray,
echocardiogram, treadmill test; coronary angiogram test can determine the severity of
cardiovascular disease. The management of inflammatory heart disease includes
antibiotics, corticosteroids, antiplatelets, diuretics, angiotensin converting enzyme
inhibitors, and beta blockers control the progression of inflammatory situations
associated with the heart.
