Myocarditis due to granulomatous inflammation is being increasingly recognized now compared to past when the diagnosis was usually made during autopsy.

It presents as ventricular tachycardia, atrioventricular conduction block with or without cardiomyopathy, and heart failure. The paucity of constitutional symptoms and the lack of awareness result in delayed diagnosis.
