The laboratory tests commonly used include testing to detect any viral causes of myocarditis, serum concentrations of an inflammatory marker (C-reactive protein, erythrocyte sedimentation rate) and cardiac biomarker (troponin, brain type natriuretic peptide), electrocardiogram, echocardiogram, CMR and serologic testing for SARS-CoV-2 antibodies. Here, CRP is linked to myocarditis.
