Clinical significance of myocardial involvement in acute idiopathic pericarditis.

CONCLUSIONS: Myocardial involvement in acute pericarditis is associated with a low rate of severe left ventricular dysfunction and cardiogenic shock and a reduced rate of large pericardial effusion, resulting in a lower rate of MACE. Life-saving interventions were used at comparable rates in patients with and without myocardial involvement having excellent survival rates. PMID: 31225631 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
