Observational analysis identified myocarditis in 7 of 110 brucellosis patients, suggesting early evaluation is crucial for therapy.
The paper presents the results of studying the functional state of the cardiovascular system in 110 patients with acute brucellosis, in 7 of them the course was complicated by the development of clinical myocarditis. The complex study of the cardiovascular system in patients with brucellosis, by using Holter ECG monitoring, echocardiography (EchoCG), and Doppler EchoCG and determining the activity of cardiospecific enzymes (troponin I, MB-fraction creatinine phosphokinase), and inflammation markers (ACT, LDH, C-reactive protein) makes it possible to revealed the development of myocarditis in early periods of the disease, to timely evaluate the course of the disease, and to decide what adequate therapy and rehabilitation are to be chosen.
