Myocarditis <\/a>may also cause irregular heartbeats, known as, \u201carrhythmias,\u201d as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\nMyocarditis typically occurs due to viral infection, and the patient may start to experience symptoms that exacerbate the symptoms of their current situation. Chest pain, fatigue, and shortness of breath are all common symptoms associated with myocarditis. In severe cases, the diminished circulatory capacity of the heart may lead to the formation of clots that lodge in the heart valves, leading to congestive heart failure and death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Depending on the state of the patient, and the severity of the infection, the doctor may choose to use anti-viral medications to treat the myocarditis and return the patient to normal cardiovascular health. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n14. Heart Valve Issues<\/h3>\n\n\n\n Kawasaki\u2019s disease causes a few complications affecting the cardiovascular system. Apart from myocarditis and vasculitis., Kawasaki\u2019s may induce problems with the normal function of the heart valves as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some people may not notice any change in heart function attributed to dysfunction of the heart valves, while others may find they develop symptoms of chest pain, palpitations<\/a>, dizziness, light-headedness, and fatigue. Should the patient fail to receive a diagnosis and treatment for their condition, they may run the risk of developing a life-threatening form of valve disease that can result in the death of the patient.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe symptoms do not necessarily indicate the severity of the condition, and patients will require a chest x-ray to uncover the extent of the damage to the heart. In most cases, if the physician catches the problem in time, there may be no lasting damage to the heart valves or the cardiovascular system. However, if the patient does not receive any treatment, they could end up in a life-threatening position. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\r\n
