Short description of contents:

: Acute myocarditis is an inflammatory cardiac disease with different underlying causes and a wide spectrum of clinical presentations from asymptomatic cases to sudden or rapidly evolving acute heart failure. Furthermore, the initial diagnosis can be challenging as it can mimic other respiratory or gastrointestinal disorders. We report the case of an otherwise healthy 24-year-old Caucasian man with a fulminant myocarditis successfully treated with mechanical circulatory support, which was initially misdiagnosed as an isolated uncomplicated acute acalculous cholecystitis.
