Myopericarditis

Myopericarditis

Myopericarditis is a combination of both myocarditis and pericarditis appearing in a single individual. It is when fluid is in the heart. Myopericarditis refers primarily to a pericarditis with lesser myocarditis, as opposed to a perimyocarditis, though the two terms are often used interchangeably. Both will be reflected on an ECG.
