  20. Ancillary Tests • Cardiac catheterization • Clear vessels • Decreased ejection fraction • Decreased motion of LV

  21. FINAL DIAGNOSIS • 16 year old male with chest pain secondary to Myocarditis; Asthma exacerbation

  22. MYOCARDITIS

  23. Introduction • Clinical syndrome characterized by inflammation of myocytes resulting from infectious, toxic, and autoimmune etiologies. • Ongoing viral infection, myocardial destruction, and adverse remodeling can lead to persistent ventricular dysfunction and dilated cardiomyopathy.

  24. Introduction • Infectious etiologies, particularly viral, are most common in children. • The most common causes of viral myocarditis are enterovirus (coxsackie group B) and adenovirus

  25. Incidence • Incidence of myocarditis in children is unknown • Inflammatory infiltrates and myocardial cell damage were found at autopsy in 3 to 40% of infants and children who died suddenly unrelated to trauma • 17 percent of infants who died of SIDS had histopathologic evidence of myocarditis

  26. Incidence • In one retrospective study from a single tertiary Canadian center, the estimated prevalence of myocarditis presenting to their emergency department was 0.5 cases per 10,000 visits • A review of all the autopsies performed at a single English pediatric tertiary center over a ten-year period (1996 to 2005) identified 28 of 1516 cases with myocarditis (1.8 percent)

  27. Pathophysiology • In susceptible patients: • Viral RNA uptake  cytotoxic necrosis  rapid cell death • More common presentation • 4-14 days post-infection  immune response (macrophage activation and cytokine expression)  natural killer cells target myocardium expressing the viral RNA and continue myocyte necrosis

  28. Pathophysiology • TNF is involved in rapidly clearing virus and signals additional proinflammatory cells, activates endothelial cells, and has direct negative inotropic effects • Cytotoxic T lymphocytes infiltrate myocytes and trigger lysis of these cells

  29. Pathophysiology • In the chronic phases, the effects of either inadequate or inappropriately abundant immune response can lead to the long-term sequelae of dilated cardiomyopathy and heart failure

  30. Pathophysiology • Ongoing study has demonstrated the presence of antimyosin autoantibodies and other immunomodulators long after initial viral infection

  31. Clinical Manifestation • Nonspecific illness • Fatigue • Mild dyspnea • Myalgias • Fever (20%) • Chest pain (35%) • most commonly described as a pleuritic, sharp, stabbing precordial pain • may be substernal and squeezing

  32. Clinical Manifestation • In a 6-year study of pediatric ED patients, the most common presenting symptom was dyspnea and more than half of patients were initially diagnosed with asthma or pneumonia. • May be asymptomatic

  33. Clinical manifestation • Symptoms of heart failure • Dyspnea on exertion • Orthopnea • Shortness of breath • Palpitation

  34. Physical Findings • Tachypnea and retractions • S3 and occasionally S4 gallops may be present and are important signs of impaired ventricular function • If the right or left ventricular dilation is severe, auscultation may reveal murmurs of functional mitral or tricuspid insufficiency

  35. Physical Findings • Signs of low cardiac output • Pericardial friction rub and effusion may become evident in some patients with myopericarditis • A widely inflamed heart shows the classic signs of ventricular dysfunction including the following: • Jugular venous distention • Bibasilar crackles • Ascites • Peripheral edema

  36. Causes • Infectious • Toxic • Immunologic

  37. Infectious Causes • Viral myocarditis is the most common • Parvovirus B19, 36.6% • Enterovirus, 32.6% • Human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6), 10.5% • Adenovirus, 8.1% • Co-infection with HHV-6 and parvovirus B19, 12.6% • HIV

  38. Infectious Causes • Bacterial causes • Most common worldwide is Diphtheria • Streptococcal and staphylococcal species and Bartonella, Brucella, Leptospira, and Salmonella species can spread to the myocardium as a consequence of severe cases of endocarditis • Chagas disease • Parasitic myocarditis from trypanosomiasis

  39. Toxic Causes • Numerous medications (eg, lithium, doxorubicin, cocaine, numerous catecholamines, acetaminophen) may exert a direct cytotoxic effect on the heart • Zidovudine (AZT) has been associated with myocarditis

  40. Toxic causes • Environmental toxins include lead, arsenic, and carbon monoxide • Wasp and scorpion stings and spider bites, specifically black widows, may cause myocarditis • Radiation therapy

  41. Immunologic Etiology • Connective tissue disorders • Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) • Rheumatoid arthritis • Scleroderma • Dermatomyositis • Idiopathic inflammatory and infiltrative disorders such as Kawasaki disease, sarcoidosis, and giant cell arteritis may be a cause

  42. Differential Diagnoses • Acute Coronary Syndrome • Pneumonia • Congestive Heart Failure • Aortic Dissection • Pulmonary Embolism • Esophageal Perforation, Rupture and Tears • Viral syndrome

  43. Diagnostic Studies • EKG • CXR • Cardiac enzymes • Echo • MRI with contrast • Cardiac catheterization • Other tests

  44. EKG • Classical triad • Sinus tachycardia (>100 in a child; >120 in an infant; >150 in a neonate) • Low voltage complexes • ST segment and T wave changes • Other abnormalities like, varying AV blocks, bundle branch blocks, both supraventricular and ventricular arrhythmias and an even an anterior wall myocardial infarction pattern

  45. Chest Radiograph • Typically include cardiomegaly, although heart size may be normal • Pulmonary vascular congestion is often present

  46. Cardiac Enzymes • Elevation reflects myocardial necrosis • Seen in some patients with myocarditis • Experimental and clinical findings in adults suggest that elevations of cardiac troponin I or T (cTnI or cTnT) levels may be more common than CK-MB elevations in patients with biopsy-proven myocarditis

  47. Echocardiography • Enlarged Left Ventricular (LV) dimensions, left atrial enlargement and impaired ejection fraction (EF) and shortening fraction • Normal EF in children is 64+4% • 2D echo reveals a large, hypo contractile LV which is globular, with thin walls, mild pericardial effusion and occasional regional wall motion abnormalities

  48. MRI • Said to pick up earliest abnormality in Myocarditis • Document the location and extent of inflammation • Gadolinium enhancement was greater in patients with myocarditis than in normal controls

  49. Cardiac Catheterization • Reveals depressed cardiac index, elevated left ventricular end diastolic pressure, and elevated mean atrial pressure • Angiography shows decreased left ventricular function with or without mitral regurgitation • Main purpose is to obtain samples by endomyocardial biopsy (EMB) for pathologic and microbiologic analysis
