Abstract | HISTORY AND ADMISSION FINDINGS: COURSE: CONCLUSION:
Myocarditis as a cause for acute heart insufficiency has to be taken into account in young patients without any history of cardiac abnormalities and preceding infections. Cardioembolic stroke may be a consequence. Decisions in secondary stroke prevention should be made on an individual base with regard to medical guidelines as well as risk factors. Neurorehabilitation of sufficient length and quality can lead to functional recovery, improvement of independence in activities of daily living and quality of life, even if the initial situation seems worse and medical complications accompany the course.
