Abstract Myocarditis is a focal or diffuse inflammatory process of the myocardium. Along with the deepening of research, there are new technological advances which are useful to the diagnosis and treatment of myocarditis. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging has become a useful noninvasive imaging tool for diagnosis of myocarditis, but does not replace endomyocardial biopsy. The supportive treatment has remained the mainstay of therapy for patients with myocarditis, especially with fulminant myocarditis, including the comprehensive treatment of shock, heart failure, and arrhythmia. Due to the lack of large clinical data, diagnosis and treatment for myocarditis remains to be further explored.
