What Does EMC Stand For?
EMC stands for Ensephalomyocarditis
Encephalomyocarditis (EMC) is an inflammatory disease affecting the central nervous system and heart, primarily observed in animals but can also occur in humans. It is characterized by the simultaneous inflammation of brain tissues and heart muscle, often leading to neurological symptoms and myocardial damage. The condition is commonly linked to viral infections, particularly those caused by enteroviruses, and can result in significant morbidity. Diagnosis typically involves clinical evaluation, imaging studies, and laboratory tests to identify the underlying infectious agents. Treatment focuses on supportive care and addressing any underlying causes.
