This book provides readers recent advances on basic research and clinical management of fulminant myocarditis. First chapters introduce aetiology, pathology, and pathophysiology of fulminant myocarditis, in which excessive immune activation and subsequent cytokine storm are proposed to be the core pathogenesis. Following chapters present clinical management of fulminant myocarditis, including clinical manifestations, examinations, and diagnosis of fulminant myocarditis, as well as life support-based comprehensive treatment regimen in acute phase.
