Abstract

Myocarditis presents with a wide range of symptoms, including chest pain that mimics acute coronary syndrome, heart failure and conduction disturbances. It is typically caused by viral infections, although pharmacological and autoimmune causes are also common, with bacterial myocarditis being rare. Myocarditis is a rare complication of acute prostatitis. Likewise, acute prostatitis can be a complication of water vapour thermal therapy, a relatively new treatment increasingly used for benign prostatic hyperplasia. We present two cases of acute myocarditis following acute prostatitis, both with a recent history of water vapour thermal therapy.

Keywords:

Resumen

La miocarditis se presenta con un amplio espectro de síntomas, incluyendo dolor torácico que imita el síndrome coronario agudo, insuficiencia cardíaca y trastornos de la conducción. Generalmente es causada por infecciones virales, aunque también son comunes las causas farmacológicas o autoinmunes, siendo la miocarditis bacteriana poco común. La miocarditis es una complicación rara de la prostatitis aguda. Así mismo, la prostatitis aguda puede ser una complicación de la terapia térmica con vapor de agua, un tratamiento relativamente nuevo que se utiliza cada vez más para tratar la hiperplasia benigna de próstata. Presentamos dos casos de miocarditis aguda tras prostatitis aguda, ambos con un historial reciente de terapia térmica con vapor de agua.
