Myocarditis Treatment
The treatment of myocarditis mainly aim at virus infection and cardiac muscle inflammation.
1. General treatment:
1) reasonable rest is extremely important, can the occurrence of myocardial inflammatory lesions repaired as soon as possible to prevent further deterioration. Myocarditis in patients with the general need to stay in bed for a decline in body temperature after 3 ~ 4 weeks, there is the expansion of heart failure or heart should rest 0.5 ~ 1 year, or to the heart size returned to normal, after a normal erythrocyte sedimentation rate.
2) prevention and control incentives. The most common incentive with Myocarditis is upper respiratory tract infection, so need to prevent a cold, and prevent the virus from the body violated. Due to virus infection are often associated with bacterial infection at the same time exist or have occurred, and bacterial infection virus can often active in the body to reduce resistance, increase cardiac damage, they are the proper use of antibiotics in bacterial infection control in a timely and very necessary. For some vulnerable patients, such as repeated inflammation of the tonsils, and if necessary to tonsillectomy to remove the incentive / or injection of transfer factor, such as gamma globulin in order to enhance the body resistance to prevent recurrence.
3) to promote myocardial repair. Myocarditis in patients with inhalation of oxygen and can be applied to improve myocardial metabolism of some drugs to promote myocardial repair and prevent further development of the disease and reduce complications.
Clinically drugs are commonly used:
2. Causes of treatment:
Myocarditis treatment is based on its cause. Patients with viral myocarditis can be a number of oral antiviral drugs such as moroxydine, Indigowoad Root, honeysuckle, forsythia, etc.; rheumatic myocarditis in patients with active rheumatoid arthritis resistant to treatment, such as giving intravenous drip of antibiotics and so on; syphilitic patients with myocarditis Mei-refoulement to be treated at the same time and so a series of measures to remove or control the causes leading to myocardial injury, to prevent the further development of Myocarditis.
3. Hormone therapy:
The purpose of the application of hormones is to reduce the myocardial inflammatory response and reduce myocardial scar formation and improve the general condition of patients and myocardial microcirculation, the proper use of hormones to control the disease progresses, improve symptoms. For a critical condition or recurrent myocarditis in patients, need to use adrenal cortex hormones, it can significantly ease the condition. However, acute HIV infection in the first 10 days should avoid the use of hormones, so as to avoid the spread of the virus, so that a deterioration in their conditions.
4. Complication treatment:
To complications of myocarditis include heart failure, arrhythmia and even shock, for these complications should be dealt with promptly. As a result of heart failure can be given cardiac diuretics; have arrhythmias should be treated for specific conditions, premature ventricular contractions may occur given the slow rhythm, severe atrioventricular block can give isopropyl adrenal Su-, etc.; myocarditis in patients with shock when that condition is very critical, we must seize the opportunity to save, to give blood volume expansion, pressor drugs, such as measures to save the patient's life.
