This article is a correction of a study on short-term outcomes and prognostic factors in patients with acute fulminant myocarditis associated with acute kidney injury. The study focuses on patients with this serious, life-threatening condition. Major findings include the identification of key prognostic factors influencing short-term survival. In patients with fulminant myocarditis, ECG changes, increased levels of troponin T and creatine kinase, as well as fever, have been observed. Some patients presented with heart failure with hypokinesia and reduced left ventricular ejection fraction. Acute kidney injury worsens the prognosis in combination with myocarditis. The study highlights the need for intensive care in these patients.
