Abstract:

Viral myocarditis may present with a variety of electrocardiologic aberrations. Torsade de pointes, a potentially malignant ventricular arrhythmia associated with prolongation of the QT interval has not been described in patients with acute viral myocarditis. This report details this finding in a patient with coxsackie B3 myocarditis in whom symptomatic torsade de pointes was documented.
