==Overview==
Myocarditis may be classified according to pathologic findings into 4 subtypes: fulminant myocarditis, acute myocarditis, chronic active myocarditis, and chronic persistent myocarditis.
Myocarditis can be [[Classification|classified]] based on the [[Causes|causative]], [[histological]], and clinicopathological [[criteria]]. [[Causes|Causative]] [[criteria]] include three main groups, as well as [[infectious]], [[Immune-mediated disease|immune-mediated,]] and [[toxic]] myocarditis. Based on the type of [[Infiltration (medical)|infiltrating]] [[Cells (biology)|cells]] myocarditis divided in [[lymphocytic]], [[eosinophilic]], [[polymorphic]], [[giant cell]] myocarditis, and [[cardiac sarcoidosis]]. [[Acute]], [[fulminant]], [[chronic]] active, and [[Chronic (medicine)|chronic]] persistent are subtypes of clinicopathopogical [[classification]].

==Classification==


* Myocarditis can be classified based on the causative, histological, and clinicopathological criteria.  
*Myocarditis can be [[Classification|classified]] based on the [[Causes|causative]], [[histological]], and clinicopathological [[criteria]].
*The causative criteria define infectious agents (virus, protozoa, or bacteria) or non-infectious condition (autoimmune diseases, medications etc.) associated with myocarditis.  
*Myocarditis may be [[Classification|classified]] according to [[Causes|causative]] [[criteria]] into three groups:<ref>{{cite journal|title=Report of the 1995 World Health Organization/International Society and Federation of Cardiology Task Force on the Definition and Classification of Cardiomyopathies|journal=Circulation|volume=93|issue=5|year=1996|pages=841–842|issn=0009-7322|doi=10.1161/01.CIR.93.5.841}}</ref><ref name="LeoneVeinot2012">{{cite journal|last1=Leone|first1=Ornella|last2=Veinot|first2=John P.|last3=Angelini|first3=Annalisa|last4=Baandrup|first4=Ulrik T.|last5=Basso|first5=Cristina|last6=Berry|first6=Gerald|last7=Bruneval|first7=Patrick|last8=Burke|first8=Margaret|last9=Butany|first9=Jagdish|last10=Calabrese|first10=Fiorella|last11=d'Amati|first11=Giulia|last12=Edwards|first12=William D.|last13=Fallon|first13=John T.|last14=Fishbein|first14=Michael C.|last15=Gallagher|first15=Patrick J.|last16=Halushka|first16=Marc K.|last17=McManus|first17=Bruce|last18=Pucci|first18=Angela|last19=Rodriguez|first19=E.

Overview

Myocarditis can be classified based on the causative, histological, and clinicopathological criteria. Causative criteria include three main groups, as well as infectious, immune-mediated, and toxic myocarditis. Based on the type of infiltrating cells myocarditis divided in lymphocytic, eosinophilic, polymorphic, giant cell myocarditis, and cardiac sarcoidosis. Acute, fulminant, chronic active, and chronic persistent are subtypes of clinicopathopogical classification.
