Congestive heart failure is when the heart is unable to pump enough blood throughout the body. Chemotherapy can cause mild or severe damage to the heart. If severe, congestive heart failure or other life-threatening problems can occur. [nccn.org]

Myocarditis may be suspected whenever chest pain or arrhythmia symptoms suggestive of congestive heart failure occur during the course of an infectious illness, especially a viral one. [healthcentral.com]

Cardiac symptoms usually require additional medication, including amiodarone for arrhythmias or beta blockers for congestive heart failure. [amboss.com]

However, acute pericarditis is more likely if inspiration and supine position worsens the chest pain, and sitting upright and leaning forward alleviates the chest pain; the pain in STEMI is unaffected by position. [ecgwaves.com]

Myocarditis care at Mayo Clinic Symptoms If you have a mild case of myocarditis or are in the early stages, you might have no symptoms or mild ones, such as chest pain or shortness of breath. [mayoclinic.org]

When To Call a Professional Call your doctor immediately if you have chest pain, even if you think that you are too young to be having heart problems. [drugs.com]

If chest pain, trouble breathing, or swelling have gotten worse since you were told you have myocarditis, call 911 or go to the hospital. Treatment If you have myocarditis, your doctor will treat its cause, if possible. [webmd.com]

Contraindications to KI include iodine allergies and certain skin disorders associated with iodine sensitivity (eg, dermatitis herpetiformis, urticaria vasculitis). [merckmanuals.com]

Iatrogenic pericardial effusions are common after cardiac surgery and frequently require drainage. Pericardial effusions caused by radiation therapy are less common due to the dose reduction possible today. [healio.com]

The 2D echocardiography obtained in the emergency department showed a normal sized non-hypertrophic left ventricle with inferior wall hypokinesis and normal global systolic function, with no pericardial effusion. [revespcardiol.org]

In general, potential heart-related adverse events from immunotherapy are myocardial fibrosis, myocarditis, and acute heart failure, which have been reported among patients treated with programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1) pathway immunotherapy, noted [medpagetoday.com]

Aortic stiffness and interstitial myocardial fibrosis by native T1 are independently associated with left ventricular remodeling in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy. Hypertension 2014; 64: 762–8. [ecrjournal.com]

"For instance, the role of nuclear cardiology for assessing pericardial structures, myocardial fibrosis or valvular heart disease associated with RIHD is limited by its suboptimal spatial resolution," they wrote. [medicalphysicsweb.org]

Progressive fibrosis leads to impaired diastolic function, which can culminate in constrictive pericarditis (if the pericardial fibrosis dominates), restrictive cardiomyopathy (if the myocardial fibrosis dominates), or a combination of the 2 forms [ 6 [omicsonline.org]
