Sponsor

University Hospital, Angers

Enrollment

50 participants

Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Inclusion Criteria3

acute myocarditis, diagnosed on the association of (a) recent viral infection (upper airway, gastro-intestinal) , (b) troponin increase, and (c) chest pain AND myocarditis confirmed by cardiac magnetic resonance 2 out of 3 Lake Louise criteria, either T2 hypersignal, early enhancement or late gadolinium enhancement.
regular physical activity, recreational or competitive: >=4 hours weekly
written informed consent

Exclusion Criteria5

coronary artery disease
acute inflammatory cardiomyopathy (sarcoidosis, fulminant myocarditis, Tako Tsubo, eosinophilic myocarditis, Lyme disease)
history of myocarditis
contra-indication to cardiac MRI
patient unable to perform a treadmill stress test
