Background:
A variety of diseases can complicate acute pancreatitis and myocarditis. As acute pancreatitis combined with myocarditis and thyrotoxicosis is rare, we report a case of acute pancreatitis combined with myocarditis and thyrotoxicosis.
Case Presentation:
We present a case of a previously healthy 37-year-old male who was admitted with epigastric pain; elevated blood amylase, lipase, and cardiac enzymes; markedly abnormal thyroid function; and an electrocardiogram showing elevated ST segments. He was diagnosed with acute pancreatitis combined with myocarditis and thyrotoxicosis. After 10 days of treatment, his epigastric pain disappeared. Further, his clinical test indices and electrocardiogram results returned to normal. The patient was free of abnormalities at the one-month follow-up, and his prognosis was good.
Conclusion:
Acute pancreatitis can be complicated by myocarditis and thyrotoxicosis. The aetiology and pathogenesis are unknown and warrant further study.

Chronic Pancreatitis I: Introduction
Pancreatitis is the inflammation of the pancreas, which occurs when the immune system becomes active and causes swelling, pain, and disruptions in organ function. Pancreatitis can manifest as either an acute or chronic condition.
Acute pancreatitis arises suddenly and lasts for a brief duration, while chronic pancreatitis is a long-term affliction...
