Treatment of Myocarditis, Endocarditis, and Pericarditis Flashcards

1
Q

What is the Genaral Management of a Patient with Myocarditis?

A

Treatment of Hemodynamically stable HF with reduced ejection fraction includes diuresis

ACE inhibitor (or ARB)

Beta-Blockers therapy is decreased or withheld in patients with more than mild acute decompensated HF

Q

How to treat Pericarditis?

A

Nonsteroidal and Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) for nearly all patients with acute idiopathic or
viral pericarditis in combination with Colchicine

Duration of treatment is based upon the resolution of symptoms and normalization of C-reactive protein (CRP). In this approach, CRP is assessed at presentation and then weekly, using the anti-inflammatory dose of NSAIDs until complete resolution of symptoms (for at least 24 hours) and normalization of CRP, at which point tapering begins.

38
Q

when should glucocorticoids be used in the treatment of Pericarditis?

A

Glucocorticoids should be used for initial treatment of acute pericarditis only in patients with contraindications to NSAIDs, or for specific indications (ie, systemic inflammatory diseases, pregnancy, and possibly renal failure), and should be used at the lowest effective dose.
