Abstrakt: This is a case of a 45-year-old Caucasian female with coxsackievirus-induced myocarditis. Myocarditis is an inflammation of the heart muscles, which can be difficult to diagnose at times because its symptoms overlap with other cardiovascular diseases. At times, when the patient presents, the full impact of the etiology would have either improved or resolved. In this case, the patient presented with symptoms closely resembling that of acute coronary syndrome but did not fit the typical age category. After lab and imaging workup, the coxsackievirus panel was positive, complicated with a new diagnosis of systolic heart failure with an ejection fraction of 30%-35% along with pericardial effusion.
