Case Summary initial presentation A 14-year-old boy was admitted with anterior chest pain for a day. Three days earlier, he had had flu-like symptoms. The patient had a positive troponin I (49.97 ng/ml) result and an elevated level of CK-MB (98.27 ng/ml) A coronary angiogram showed no thrombus and no clinically significant stenosis. 28
Case Summary Hospital course His ejection fraction at ER was over 50% Eight hours after admission, complete AV block was developed and IV isoproterenol was started for heart rate control. After then, various ventricular arrhythmias were developed and treated with DC version. Shock and urine output decreased and treated with dopamine and dobutamine.. He was transferred to SMC after temporary pacemaker insertion and with amiodarone infusion (day 0). 29
Case Summary EKG 30
Case Summary Hospital course Ventilation support were started due to hypoxia. At day 1, shock and pulmonary edema progressed, and urine output was decreased and EF was < 20%. Mechanical circulatory support was started with EBS (Terumo, CAPIOX SP101, Tokyo, Japan). Urine output and BP were maintained with EBS and inotropics. After 56 hours of mechanical support with EBS, leftventricular-wall motion was restored and her ejection fraction was 45 % on echocardiography. The EBS was removed and he was discharged at hospital day 17 without any symptoms of heart failure. 31

Case Summary initial presentation A 57-year-old woman was admitted with anterior chest pain for a day. Three days earlier, she had had flu-like symptoms. The patient had a positive troponin I (49.97 ng/ml) result and an elevated level of creatinine phosphokinase-mb (98.27 ng/ml) A coronary angiogram showed no thrombus and no clinically significant stenosis. 38
Case Summary Hospital course Eight hours after admission, shock and pulmonary edema developed. Her ejection fraction became less than 15 percent from over 60% at admission. Despite the use of an intra-aortic balloon pump for four hours, her shock and pulmonary edema progressed, and recurrent ventricular tachycardia occurred. Mechanical circulatory support was started with a left ventricular assist device. (550 BIO-Console, Medtronics, Bio-Medicus, ECMO). 39
Case Summary Hospital course After 96 hours of support with the left ventricular assist device (ECMO), left-ventricular-wall motion was restored and her ejection fraction was 56 percent on echocardiography. ECMO was removed after 5 days. She was discharged after 35 days without any symptoms of heart failure. 40

Factors Influencing Prognosis Important factors concerning the prognosis were 1) the severity and grade of cardiac and renal dysfunction 2) the adjusted support flow rate to enable recovery from circulatory failure 3) prevention of circulatory disturbances of the legs and multiple organ failure directly associated with PCPS. Long-term prognosis of patients treated with PCPS 1. the readmission rate was 10% 2. the exacerbation rate was 3.3% 3. mortality was 10% during the average follow-up period of 962 days. Optimal management of the mechanical cardiopulmonary support and curative treatment for the myocarditis further improve the outcome of this disease. Circ J 2002;66:133 63

Predictors of Clinical Manifestations and Courses In Patients with Acute Fulminant Coxsackievirus Myocarditis The clinical courses of acute FM and NFM CVB myocarditis are too different. Among the initial laboratory findings, leukocytosis, initial cardiac enzymes, CK-MB, TnI, and cytokines, hil-6 and TNFRII, may be helpful to predict the course of acute CVB myocarditis Since the patients with FM recover without residual LV dysfunction within one month and had more excellent long-term prognosis, the aggressive hemodynamic support is warranted. 67

Case Summary HIS and Nt test Serial histological and immunohistochemical analysis of the right atrial appendage, that underwent biopsy at the time of insertion and removal of LVAD, showed the enteroviral capsid protein VP1 (primary antibody, Novocastra Laboratories) over the entire right atrial wall with scanty inflammation infiltrates. Her serum neutralized coxsackievirus B4 (CVB4) in a neutralization test performed with CVB4 (American Type Culture Collection, J.V.B. Benschoten) as a control virus. The titer of neutralizing antibody in her serum at 16 days was more than four times the titer at 5 days and 40 days. 80
Devices for circulatory support currently used in 1. acute circulatory support < 1 month cardiac failure after cardiac operations, myocardial infarction shock or acute cardiomyopathy due to myocarditis or other causes, with a potential likelihood of recovery. 2. more prolonged support from 30 days to <1 year in Waiting for transplantation but deteriorate before a heart becomes available and require mechanical support prior to transplantation. chronic HF regain ventricular function and are able to have the devices removed without requiring transplantation. 3. permanent support as an alternative to transplantation irreversible cardiac failure that might require circulatory support, but they are not good candidates for cardiac transplantation. Therefore, if devices are inserted, they must be considered permanent or destination therapy and are currently investigational. Consensus Conference Report, JACC 2001;37:340 81
