A Rare Case of Myocarditis Causing Interventricular Communication and Acute Heart Failure

Myocarditis is a rare but potentially life-threatening condition that involves inflammation of the heart muscle. It can present with a wide range of clinical manifestations, including acute heart failure, arrhythmias, and ventricular dysfunction. In rare cases, myocarditis can lead to the formation of interventricular communication, which is an abnormal communication between the left and right ventricles. We present a case report of a 31-year-old male who presented to the emergency department with acute heart failure and was subsequently diagnosed with myocarditis causing interventricular communication.
