Basing on own data and literature survey the authors analyze clinical course of viral myopericarditides. Special emphasis is made on evolution of electrocardiographical signs in which four stages are distinguished. It is noted that incidence of hemorrhagic myopericarditides probably of viral nature is increasing. The paper contains recommendations on treatment of patients with myopericarditis. The disease has favorable prognosis. However prognosis of diffuse myopericarditis remains unfavorable and its rational treatment - insufficiently established.
