Progression of markers for myocarditis in children
Myocarditis is a local or diffuse myocardial inflammatory disease,which is identified by histological and immunological methods.Clinically,the"gold standard"for the diagnosis of myocarditis has been endocardial biopsy.But it lacks the advantage of early diagnosis,which is an important cause of the death due to myocarditis.The detection of myocardial markers possesses the characteristics of being early,rapid and convenient,thus providing certain value for the early diagnosis,the understanding of the condition and also the evaluation of curative effect in myocarditis patients.At present,common myocardial markers are mostly used for the diagnosis and treatment of adult heart-related diseases.Due to the immaturity of myocardial function and the particularity of growth and development in children,the pathogenesis and pathophysiological process of myocardial injury in children are very different from those in adults.Up to now,there is no clear application value of pediatric myocardial markers.As a result,this article reviews the research progress of markers with myocarditisin in children.
