Q

****Acute Myocarditis : Fulminant Myocarditis

Miocardium muscular layer of heart also know as rebdo myocetes
Arrange in spide shape

A

Q

Acute Myocarditis

Primary vs Secondary

A

a. **Primary Cause **

  • Acute viral infection
  • Post Viral Immune Response
  • Protozoan TRypanosoma Cruzi
  • Fulminant Myocaditis ( form acute myocarditis)

b. Secondary Cause

Q

Acute Myocarditis

Fulminant Myocaditis ( form acute myocarditis) Due to Viral Invetion
Protozoan Trypanosoma Cruzi

A

*** Cardiogentic Shock **
* With Multiple organ failue
* characterized by severe LV dysfuntion
* May require Inotrops (force contraction increase CO) + Vent
* May leat ot Cadiomyopathy

**Laboratory (all non-specific)

    • Elevated WBC, CRP, ESR
      Troponin (only elevated 33% ; CK-MB only in 10%)

**Diagnositic **
**a. EKG **
i. Non-specific tachycardia or arrhythmia
Ventricular conduction abnormalties
ii Ventricular conduction abnormalities +/- ectopy
iii. presence of Q-wave (droping) or LBBB
**b. Pulmonary HTN **
Pulmonary HTN
c. Chest X/Ray: Pulmonary edema
d. Endomyocadial Biopsy: Requires dx histology
