Abstract :Objective: To evaluate ECG findings regarding interatrial block and ventricular repolarization and certain biochemical parameters in young patients diagnosed as acute myocarditis with normal ventricular functions. Materials and Methods: 405 patients under the age of 35 who underwent diagnostic coronary angiography between January 2014 and January 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients whose ECG records could not be accessed or quality were not suitable for evaluation, with sudden cardiac death, cardiomyopathy, ejection fraction <50%, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, chronic kidney and liver failure were excluded. Patients who underwent diagnostic angiography for the differential diagnosis of acute myocarditis were assigned to myocarditis group insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(n: 35);, and age– and sex–matched subjects with normal coronary circulation and underwent coronary angiography for any other reason were assigned to control group insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(n: 35);. Results: Heart rate, P wave duration, P wave peak time, PR interval, QRS, QT, and Tp–e interval, QTc, Tp–e/QT and Tp–e/QTc ratios did not differ from each other. Whereas troponin insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p<0.001);, glucose insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p=0.004);, LDL insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p=0.015);, AST insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p<0.001);, ALT insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p<0.026);, CRP insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p<0.001); levels and neutrophil count insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p=0.003); were markedly higher in myocarditis group, HDL was lower insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p<0.001);. Conclusions: Although biochemical parameters display differences in myocarditis group, ECG findings did not differ.
