This presentation is known as pleurodynia or Bornholm disease in many areas. Patients with chest pain should see a doctor immediately—in some cases, viruses in the Coxsackie B family progress to myocarditis or pericarditis, which can result in permanent heart damage or death. Coxsackie B virus infection may also induce aseptic meningitis.
The amount of virally infected cardiomyocytes varies in different stages of the disease. In a mouse model, at the acute stage (7 days after infection with coxsackievirus B3) approximately 10% of the myocytes are infected and could affect overall cardiac function. In chronic murine infection, the percentage of infected cardiomyocytes are much lower.
A microscope image of myocarditis at autopsy in a person with acute onset of heart failure. The black dots are primarily lymphocytes infiltrating the myocardium. Specialty: Infectious disease, cardiology: Symptoms: Shortness of breath, chest pain, decreased ability to exercise, irregular heartbeat [1] Complications
The most common type is coronary artery disease, in which plaque builds up in the arteries and blocks blood flow to the heart, potentially leading to heart attacks or heart failure.
There are four main types of Keshan disease: acute, subacute, chronic, and latent. Some signs and symptoms of acute Keshan disease include dizziness, malaise, nausea, chills, loss of appetite, projectile vomiting, pallor, low arterial blood pressure (less than 80/60 mmHg), dyspnea, precardiac (anterior to the heart) or substernal (behind or below the sternum) discomfort, cardiogenic shock, and ...

The debate rages on whether the cholesterol in eggs, specifically in egg yolks, can raise the risk of heart disease or not. Some studies have found eggs may actually help protect the heart .
It has been found to be important for the virus pathogenesis. [citation needed] In the case of Cardiovirus A, the virus can cause encephalitis and myocarditis, mostly in rodents, which are natural hosts. The virus is transmitted from rodents to other animals. Severe epidemics have been seen in swine and elephants. [9]
