Multisystemic Inflammation Influences Prognosis in Fulminant Lymphocytic Myocarditis

BACKGROUND: Multisystem inflammatory syndrome (MIS) is a hyperinflammatory shock associated with cardiac dysfunction and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. However, there are no reports on using MIS criteria, such as multisystemic inflammation (MSI) in fulminant myocarditis, without SARS-CoV-2 infection. This study investigated the differences in clinical characteristics and course between patients with fulminant lymphocytic myocarditis (FLM) plus MSI and those without MSI.Methods and Results: This multicenter retrospective cohort study included 273 patients with FLM registered in the JROAD-DPC database between April 2014 and March 2017. We evaluated the presence of MSI using criteria modified from previously reported MIS criteria and compared the characteristics and risk of mortality or heart transplantation between FLM patients with MSI and without MSI. Of the 273 patients with FLM, 107 (39%) were diagnosed with MSI. The MSI group was younger (44 vs. 57 years; P<0.0001) and had more females (50% vs. 36%; P=0.0236), a higher incidence of pericardial effusion (58% vs. 40%; P=0.0073), and a lower 90-day mortality rate (19% vs. 33%; P=0.0185) than the non-MSI group. The risk of mortality at 90 days was lower in FLM patients aged <50 years with MSI aged <50 years than in those without MSI (P=0.0463).

CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that MSI may influence the prognosis of FLM, especially in patients aged <50 years.
