Inflammation of the fleshy substance of the heart. Empres'ma Cardi'tis, Inflamma'tio Cordis, I. Cardi'tis, Cauma Cardi'tis, Myocardi'tis, Cardi'tis Muscula'ris, (F.) Inflammation du Coeur, Cardite. The symptoms of this affection are by no means clear. They are often confounded with those of pericarditis, or inflammation of the membrane investing the heart. Carditis, indeed, with many, includes both the inflammation of the external investing membrane and that of the interior of the heart. See Pericarditis, and Endocarditis.
