    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • Inflammation of the heart muscle and its surrounding structures can lead to serious health complications.
    • Endocarditis, myocarditis, and pericarditis are distinct inflammatory conditions affecting different parts of the heart.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To differentiate between endocarditis, myocarditis, and pericarditis.
    • To provide a clear overview of these cardiac inflammatory diseases.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of existing literature and clinical guidelines.
    • Comparative analysis of diagnostic criteria and clinical presentations.

    Main Results:

    • Endocarditis primarily affects the heart valves.
    • Myocarditis involves inflammation of the heart muscle (myocardium).
