About Me




WwW.SparkleTags.ComWell This page isn't really about me. It is about awareness. Here is my story.My stepdaughter died on Jan-03-07 she was 7 years old. She was not a sick child. She was happy and full of life. On ..he 28th she was taken to the doctor. He said she had a upper respiratory infection and gave her the normal meds. On Jan the 2nd her momma took her back to the doctor because she hasn't improved any. That night she died. It was a great shock to all of the family. The cause of death is a little know silent and deadly infection called Myocarditis. This site is dedicated to Sarah and to bringing awareness to that silent killer.This is a video with a doctor talking about Myocarditis in children.

Here is a little about the infection. Myocarditis is an inflammation of the heart muscle. CAUSES: Myocarditis is an uncommon disorder that is usually caused by viral infections such as coxsackie virus, adenovirus, and echovirus. It may also occur during or after various viral, bacterial, or parasitic infections. The condition may also be caused by exposure to chemicals or allergic reactions to certain medications and it can be associated with autoimmune diseases.The heart muscle becomes inflamed and weakened. This causes symptoms of heart failure.

SYMPTOMS: History of preceding viral illness Fever Chest pain that may resemble a heart attack Joint pain or swelling Abnormal heart beats Fatigue Shortness of breath Leg swelling Inability to lie flat Total absence of symptoms is commonAdditional symptoms that may be associated with this disease:Fainting, often related to arrhythmias Low urine output Other symptoms consistent with a viral infection -- headache, muscle aches, diarrhea, sore throat, rashes Treatment: Treatment includes evaluation and treatment of underlying cause. This may require use of antibiotics, reduced level of activity, and low-salt diet. Steroids and other medications may be used to reduce inflammation. Diuretic medicines are also given to remove body water via the urine.If the heart muscle is very weak, standard medicines to treat heart failure are also used. Abnormal heart rhythm may require the use of additional medications, a pacemaker or even a defibrillator. If a blood clot is present in the heart chamber, blood thinning medicine is given as well.

Myocarditis is an elusive illness to study, diagnose, and treat as the clinical presentation may range from nearly asymptomatic to overt heart failure requiring transplantation; a myriad of causes exist, and it is occasionally the unrecognized culprit in cases of sudden death.Frequency:In the US: The true incidence of this disease is unknown because many cases are asymptomatic and some symptoms related to significant morbidity may not be appropriately credited. Autopsy studies have demonstrated evidence of myocarditis in 0.5-1% of cases. A significant number of otherwise unexplained sudden death in young people and peripartum cardiomyopathy may eventually also be attributed to this disease process.

1-10 cases per 100,000 persons. Thats not a lot of people but be on the look out. Ask your doctors if you even think you or your loved ones could be getting this. Remember this is not something that runs through families...it is singular. Be aware! I don't want anyone to have to go through this.
