概括
急性心肌炎 (AM) 是COVID-19的一种罕见的心血管并发症,每1000例住院病例中发生2.4-4.1例. 结果根据肺炎的存在而异,COVID-19相关肺炎患者的死亡率较高.
科学领域:
- 心脏病学
- 传染性疾病
- 公共卫生
背景情况:
- 急性心肌炎 (AM) 是COVID-19的一种潜在心血管并发症.
- 有关COVID-19相关的AM患病率和结果的数据有限.
研究的目的:
- 确定COVID-19相关的AM的流行,特征,管理和结果.
- 分析影响住院COVID-19患者的AM结果的因素.
主要方法:
- 美国和欧洲23家医院对56963名住院的COVID-19患者进行了回顾性队列研究.
- 纳入标准:因COVID-19和AM诊断而入院 (心内膜活检或CMR发现的高位素).
- 对患者人口统计,临床表现,治疗和住院/120天的结果进行分析.
主要成果:
- 确定的/可能的AM患病率为2. 4/1000,可能的AM患病率为4. 1/1000例住院.
- 年龄中位数为38岁;女性为38.9%. 胸部疼痛和呼吸障碍是常见的症状.
- 57.4%的病例发生在没有COVID-19肺炎的情况下;38.9%的病例出现了突发性表现.
- 住院综合结果 (死亡率/机械支持) 为20. 4%. 120天死亡率为6. 6%,肺炎患者的死亡率显著高 (15. 1% 与 0% 相比).
- 左心室喷射分数显著改善,从40%提高到55%.
结论:
- 与COVID-19相关的AM很少见,每1000例住院病例中发生2.4-4.1例.
- 常常没有肺炎,可能导致血液动力学不稳定.
- 结局受到同时出现的肺炎的影响,如果肺炎存在,预后会更差.

Myocarditis II: Clinical Features and Diagnostic Tests
35
Myocarditis is an inflammation of the heart muscle. The symptoms vary widely, encompassing asymptomatic presentations to severe, acute manifestations.Clinical PresentationAsymptomatic cases: In some instances, myocarditis may be asymptomatic, with the infection resolving without intervention. These cases often go undetected unless discovered incidentally through diagnostic imaging or tests conducted for other reasons.General Early Symptoms: Early symptoms of myocarditis are non-specific and can...

Myocarditis III: Medical Management

Myocarditis: Comprehensive Medical ManagementMyocarditis, the heart muscle inflammation, requires a comprehensive medical management strategy that addresses the underlying cause, provides supportive care, manages symptoms, and reduces cardiac workload.Infections and Autoimmune CausesAdminister appropriate antimicrobial therapy when an infectious agent causes myocarditis. For instance, penicillin treats infections caused by Group A Streptococcus. In cases where autoimmune processes are...

Myocarditis I: Introduction

Myocarditis is inflammation of the myocardium, which is the muscular layer of the heart.EtiologyMyocarditis has a diverse etiology, including a wide range of infectious and non-infectious causes:Infectious CausesViral: Common viruses include Coxsackie A and B, adenovirus, parvovirus B19, enteroviruses, and influenza A.Bacterial: Examples include infections caused by Streptococcus, Staphylococcus, and Mycoplasma species.Rickettsial: Infections like Rocky Mountain spotted fever can result in...

Acute Coronary Syndrome II: Pathophysiology and Clinical Manifestations
64
The pathophysiology of Acute Coronary Syndrome [ACD] involves several key processes:The main underlying cause of ACD is atherosclerosis, a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by the buildup of lipid-laden plaques within the coronary arteries.As the atherosclerotic plaque grows in the coronary artery, it may become unstable due to the formation of a lipid-rich core and a thin fibrous cap. Inflammatory cells within the plaque, such as macrophages, secrete enzymes that degrade the...

Acute Coronary Syndrome I: Introduction
97
Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) encompasses a spectrum of heart conditions caused by sudden obstruction of coronary arteries, typically resulting from the rupture of an atherosclerotic plaque and subsequent thrombus (blood clot) formation. This obstruction can lead to partial or complete blockage of blood flow, causing varying degrees of myocardial ischemia or infarction.ACS includes the following clinical entities:Unstable Angina (UA)Non-ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (NSTEMI)ST-Elevation...

Acute Coronary Syndrome III: Diagnostic Studies
34
Diagnosing acute coronary syndrome or ACS begins with a thorough patient history. Notable symptoms include central, crushing chest pain radiating to the left arm, neck, jaw, or back, along with shortness of breath, sweating (diaphoresis), nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and palpitations.It is crucial to note any history of cardiac illnesses and assess risk factors, including age, gender, smoking, hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and a sedentary lifestyle.During physical examination, vital...
