DISCUSSION
DEFINITION OF TERMS
 Pericarditis
 Inflammatory disease of the pericardium
 Myocarditis
 Inflammatory disease of the cardiac muscle
 Can be acute, subacute, or chronic
 May either be focal or diffuse involvement of the
myocardium
DEFINITION OF TERMS
 Myopericarditis
 primarily pericarditic syndrome with minor myocardial
involvement
 Perimyocarditis
 indicates a primarily myocarditic syndrome with minor
pericardial involvement.
However, these two terms are often used
interchangeably without regard to the
predominant type of cardiac involvement
ETIOLOGY and PATHOGENESIS
 Viral or Idiopathic myopericarditis – most
common cause
 Example: coxsackieviruses (especially Coxsackie B),
adenoviruses, cytomegalovirus, echovirus, influenza
virus, Epstein Barr virus, hepatitis C virus, and
parvovirus B19.
 Bacterial and non-viral infections – less common
 Auto-immune/Connective tissue disease
 Drug-induced – vaccine related; hypersensitivity
myopericarditis
• Viral-induced myocyte damage may lead to the
release of intracellular proteins that trigger
immunopathic responses in the presence of a
predisposing genetic background.
ETIOLOGY and PATHOGENESIS
 Autoimmune mechanisms
 the initial immune response limits the degree of
viremia early during infection and protects against
myopericarditis.
 If this response is insufficient, the virus may not be
eliminated and further myocyte injury may ensue.
 Idiopathic DCM:
 50%
 Occult infection
 Autoimmune process
ETIOLOGY and PATHOGENESIS
 Autoimmune mechanisms
 direct viral-induced myocyte damage, with associated
release of intracellular proteins.
ETIOLOGY and PATHOGENESIS
 Anti-alpha myosin antibodies
 In one study of 53 patients with clinical
myocarditis, 17 percent had anti-alpha myosin
antibodies, compared to only 4 percent of
patients with ischemic heart disease and 2 percent
of normal controls
ETIOLOGY and PATHOGENESIS
 Anti-beta-1 adrenoceptor antibodies
 detected in as many as 38 percent of patients with
an idiopathic DCM
 Removal of anti-beta-1 adrenoreceptor antibodies
by selective immunoadsorption has been
associated with clinical improvement in patients
with idiopathic DCM
ETIOLOGY and PATHOGENESIS
 Autoreactive T cells
 Cellular immunity also may be involved in the
development of a DCM.
 Overexpression of activated helper and cytotoxic
T cells was associated with the presence of
coxsackie B virus, which may have been the
trigger for a superantigen-mediated immune
response
ETIOLOGY and PATHOGENESIS
 Role of cytokines
 In the postviral setting, cytokines regulate lymphocyte
function in a positive and negative manner and exert a
marked influence on the activities of many other cell
types engaged in tissue repair and restoration of
homeostasis
ETIOLOGY and PATHOGENESIS
 A three-phase model to characterize the stages of the
progression of acute viral infection to DCM has been
proposed
 First phase: viral infection with acute cellular damage.
 Second phase: autoimmune reaction

Third phase: fibrosis replaces areas of cellular inflammation. The
ventricle remodels under hemodynamic neurohumoral stresses.
ETIOLOGY and PATHOGENESIS
 Drug-induced
 Hypersensitivity myopericarditis
 characterized by acute rash, fever, peripheral eosinophilia
 Initiated by medication: sulfonamide, methyldopa,
hydrochlorothiazide, furosemide, ampicillin, tetracycline,
aminophylline, phenytoin, benzodiazepines, and tricyclic
antidepressants).
 does not always develop early in the course of drug use
ETIOLOGY and PATHOGENESIS
 Drug-induced
 Vaccinia-Associated Myopericarditis
 within 30 days after smallpox vaccination in the
absence of evidence of another likely cause
 Estimated incidence range from 0.01 to 3 percent
CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS
 reflects the degree of myopericardial
involvement, which may be focal or diffuse,
affecting one or more cardiac chambers
 Many cases are subclinical.
 In other patients, cardiac symptoms and signs
are overshadowed by systemic manifestations of
infection or inflammation, such as fever,
myalgias, and gastrointestinal symptom
CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS
 positional or pleuritic chest pain with or
without fatigue
 decreased exercise capacity, or palpitations.
 Chest pain - occasionally difficult to distinguish
from ischemic pain, because signs of
myocardial involvement can simulate an acute
coronary syndrome as reported in acute
myocarditis.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION
 Myocarditis or Pericarditis
 Signs of fluid overload like distended neck veins,
edema, etc
 S3 and occasionally S4 gallops.
 If the right or left ventricular dilatation is severe,
auscultation may reveal murmurs of functional mitral
or tricuspid insufficiency
 Pericardial Friction Rub or effusion
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION
 Pericardial friction rub
 highly specific for acute pericarditis but this finding is
not universal and is not well-documented.
 said to be generated by friction of the two inflamed
layers of the pericardium
 have a superficial scratchy or squeaking sound best
heard with the diaphragm of the stethoscope
 usually best heard over the left sternal border
LABORATORY EXAMS
 Routine labs show signs of inflammation
 CBC  would show leukocytosis
 ESR  elevated
 CRP  positive
 Cardiac enzymes
 Cardiac enzyme elevations reflect myocardial
necrosis
 Noted to be elevated in patients with
myopericarditis
ANCILLARY PROCEDURES
 Electrocardiogram
 A typical pattern of ECG evolution commonly
occurs in both myopericarditis and acute
pericarditis.
 Includes diffuse ST elevation and PR depression,
followed by normalization of ST and PR segments,
and then diffuse T wave inversions.
 The ECG differential diagnosis of both
myopericarditis and acute pericarditis includes
acute coronary syndrome and early repolarization
ANCILLARY PROCEDURES
 Electrocardiogram
 In acute pericarditis evolves through four stages:
 Stage 1
 first hours to days: diffuse ST elevation (typically concave up) with
reciprocal ST depression in leads aVR and V1.
 Stage 2
 normalization of the ST and PR segments.
 Stage 3
 development of diffuse T wave inversions, generally after the ST
segments have become isoelectric. However, this stage is not seen
in some patients.
 Stage 4
 ECG may become normal or the T wave inversions may persist
indefinitely ("chronic" pericarditis)
ANCILLARY PROCEDURES
 Electrocardiogram
 In a series of 274 with acute pericarditis, 40 had
myopericarditis as defined by serum troponin I
elevation. The following findings occurred significantly
more often in the patients with myopericarditis:
 Atypical ECG changes characterized by localized ST-elevation
(inferolateral or anterolateral) and T-wave inversion before STsegment normalization (42 versus 21 percent)
 Cardiac arrhythmias (65 versus 17 percent) including
supraventricular or ventricular ectopic beats, as well as
nonsustained ventricular tachycardia.
Myopericarditis vs STEMI
 Distribution of ST elevation is different.
 ST segment elevations in STEMI are localized
 In myopericarditis, ST-T changes are more diffuse
 ST segment elevation and T wave inversions do not
generally occur simultaneously in myopericarditis,
although they commonly do so in acute STEMI
ANCILLARY PROCEDURES
 Chest X-Ray
 typically normal in patients with myopericarditis
with minimal or small pericardial effusion and
normal ventricular function.
 An enlarged cardiac silhouette may be detected in
patients with substantial pericardial effusion or
significant left ventricular dysfunction
ANCILLARY PROCEDURES
 Coronary Angiogram
 Excludes Acute Coronary Syndrome
 Usually normal in myopericarditis
DIAGNOSIS
 Acute pericarditis is diagnosed by the presence
of two or more of the following features:
 chest pain
 pericardial friction rub
 ECG changes (diffuse ST segment elevation or PR
depression)
 pericardial effusion
 When acute pericarditis is present,
myopericarditis has been diagnosed by the
detection of one or both of the following in the
absence of evidence of another cause
 Elevation in serum cardiac biomarkers, such as cardiac
troponin I or T (cTnI or cTnT) and/or creatine kinaseMB fraction (CK-MB)
 New or presumed new focal or global left ventricular
systolic dysfunction on imaging studies
Treatment
 Limited data are available to guide treatment
of myopericarditis.
 Myopericarditis is generally managed as
acute pericarditis when ventricular function is
preserved and there are no significant
ventricular arrhythmias
Treatment
 Nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)
 mainstay of therapy for acute pericarditis
 In animal models of myocardial inflammation, NSAIDs
are not beneficial and may even enhance the
myocarditic process and increase mortality.
Treatment
 Antiviral therapy
 Antiviral therapy with ribavirin or interferon alfa
reduces the severity of myocardial lesions and
mortality in experimental murine myocarditis due to
Coxsackievirus B3.
 The applicability of these findings to humans is
therefore uncertain, since patients with viral
myocarditis are usually not seen in the earlier stages.
Treatment
 Immunosuppressive therapy
 In acute pericarditis, the 2004 ESC guidelines
recommend use of high doses of glucocorticoids (eg,
prednisone 1 mg/kg/day) when indicated with rapid
tapering to reduce the risk of systemic side effects. In
patients with a co-existing pericardial effusion,
intrapericardial steroids is an option that limits
systemic toxicity
Non-specific Therapy Regimen
 Avoidance of exercise
 Electrocardiographic monitoring
natural history and therapy of myocarditis, Cooper et al..., Aug 2008
Non-specific Therapy Regimen
 Anticoagulation
 Thromboembolic complications can occur when
HF is severe or protracted
 Warfarin is recommended to patients with atrial
fibrillation and to stable patients in sinus rhythm
who fulfill the following criteria:
 Symptomatic HF with an LVEF below 20.
 Minimal risk factors for hemorrhage.
 A stable hemodynamic profile without evidence of
liver synthetic dysfunction
natural history and therapy in adults...Cooper et al...Aug 2008
Prognosis
 Limited data are available on the
natural history of myopericarditis.
 The prognosis for idiopathic and viral
cases of myopericarditis is generally
good, particularly when clinical
manifestations are predominantly
pericardial.
Title:
 Subjects: 234 patients with viral or idiopathic
acute pericarditis
: 40 patients with myopericarditis
 Results:
 the frequency of complications (including
recurrences, cardiac tamponade and constriction)
was similar in both groups.
 At 12 months, echocardiography,
electrocardiography, and treadmill testing were
normal in 39 of the 40 myopericarditis cases.
 When substantial myocardial involvement is
present (ie, perimyocarditis), the prognosis
depends upon the nature and extent of
myocardial disease.
Summary and Recommendations
( by:
 Evaluation
 The evaluation of patients with suspected
myopericarditis should include the following:
 History and physical examination
 Hospitalization is generally recommended for the
diagnosis and monitoring of myocardial involvement.
 Cardiac biomarkers, ECG, echocardiography, and chest
x-ray should be obtained in all patients.
Summary and Recommendations
 Treatment
 In the absence of significant ventricular dysfunction,
management of myopericarditis is similar to that for
acute pericarditis.
 Prognosis
 the clinical evolution of myopericarditis with
predominant pericardial involvement is generally
benign with normalization of clinical findings in the
majority of cases
