Myocarditis in children is a relatively rare disease which often presents a dilemma that has to be faced not only by paediatric cardiologists but also paediatricians. The diagnosis often remains clinically suspected or probable. Only recent advancements in cardiac magnetic resonance have enabled us to confirm the diagno- sis. However, it may not be readily available. Scientific statement of the American Heart Association on paediatric myocarditis was published in 2021 and provides useful support for treatment. Hence, this article is a result of published guidelines.
