Colchicine In Epistenocardiac Pericarditis
Abstract:
Epistenocardiac pericarditis (EP) is a rare form of pericarditis which occurs in the early period after a myocardial infarction (MI) and is commonly regionalized to the area of infarction. The preferred treatment for EP is high-dose oral aspirin, given the compelling indication for aspirin use in the post-MI setting; however, high-dose aspirin use may be prohibitive in certain clinical situations such as with concomitant use of newer antiplatelet agents like ticagrelor. The treatment option with colchicine remains an alternative; however the efficacy of colchicine in EP is not well established. We herewith describe a case series of 11 patients with EP who were treated with colchicine.
