    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Hepatitis B virus infection can cause myocarditis, leading to heart failure and arrhythmia. Early echocardiography is crucial for detecting left ventricular dysfunction in these cases.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Immunology

    Background:

    • Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a global health concern.
    • Myocarditis, inflammation of the heart muscle, can have various etiologies.
    • The association between HBV infection and myocarditis is not well-established.

    Observation:

    • This report details two cases of patients presenting with concurrent hepatitis B virus infection and myocarditis.
    • One patient's myocarditis was attributed to an immune complex mechanism.
    • Both patients exhibited symptoms of heart failure and arrhythmia.

    Findings:

    • Conventional medical therapy effectively managed the heart failure and arrhythmia in both patients.
    • Echocardiography proved vital for the early identification of left ventricular dysfunction.

  • The role of corticosteroid therapy in HBV-associated myocarditis remains uncertain.

    • Implications:

    • Acute hepatitis B infection should be considered in the differential diagnosis of acute myocarditis.
    • Early echocardiographic assessment is recommended for patients with suspected HBV-related myocarditis.
    • Further research is needed to clarify the pathogenesis and optimal treatment strategies for HBV-associated myocarditis.
