Myopericarditis is a combination of both myocarditis and pericarditis appearing in a single individual, namely inflammation of both the pericardium and the heart muscle. It can involve the presence of fluid in the heart.[1] When ventricular function is normal, the term myopericarditis is used. Cases with impaired function are labeled perimyocarditis[2], though the two terms are often used interchangeably. Both will be reflected on an ECG.
The ACAM2000 smallpox vaccine has been known to cause myopericarditis in some people.[3][4]
