Fulminant myocarditis: Characteristics, treatment, and outcomes

Abstract: Myocarditis is an inflammatory disease of the myocardium with a broad spectrum of clinical presentations, ranging from mild symptoms to severe heart failure. The course of patients with myocarditis is heterogeneous, varying from partial or full clinical recovery in few days to advanced low cardiac output syndrome requiring mechanical circulatory support or heart transplantation. Fulminant myocarditis (FM) is a peculiar clinical condition and is an acute form of myocarditis, whose main characteristic is a rapid… Show more

“…(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21) Secondly, in our patient, acute onset with progressive clinical deterioration and refractory cardiogenic shock met the diagnostic criteria for fulminant myocarditis (FM). (22,23) This is not unexpected in adulthood, as 4 out of the 9 published cases involving adult patients diagnosed with myocarditis met the criteria of COVID-19-related FM (Table 1). Our case highlights that in case of rapid otherwise unexplained deterioration of clinical conditions in SARS-CoV-2positive patients, also pediatricians should keep a high index of suspicion and deem FM as a potential diagnosis.…”

“…Because of this high mortality rates and worse prognosis with fulminant myocarditis early recognition of patients at the risk of progression to fulminant forms is essential. Acute myocarditis evolving into fulminant f n on echocardiogram, ST-T segment abnormalities ECG, high release of troponins, hypotension, and frequent arrhythmia [14].…”

“…Однако у пациентов с ФМ и нестабильной гемодинамикой данное исследование часто не выполнимо. В недавнем обзоре [11] было показано, что МРТ сердца удалось выполнить только у 45 % пациентов с ФМ и в среднем через 15 дней с момента поступления в стационар, в то время как у больных с острым миокардитом МРТ выполнялась почти в 100 % случаев, а среднее время до выполнения исследования составило 4 дня. В европейских рекомендациях по лечению СН от 2016 г. отмечено, что у пациентов с быстро прогрессирующей СН для верификации диагноза при отсутствии данных в пользу ишемической природы заболевания должна быть рассмотрена ЭМБ [12].…”

“…В настоящее время иммуносупрессивная терапия не может обсуждаться у больных с ФМ и острым лимфоцитарным миокардитом, но является основой лечения эозинофильного, гигантоклеточного миокардита, саркоидоза сердца и миокардита, ассоциированного с аутоиммунными заболеваниями (табл. 1) [11,17].…”
