In patients with acute lupus myocarditis, treatment with immunosuppressive medications and cardiovascular support can lead to favorable outcomes with improvement in symptoms and LVEF.
Appenzeller et al. (2011) conducted a case report in Acute lupus myocarditis in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) (n=3). Cardiac support, prednisone, and additional immunosuppressive medications was evaluated on Improvement of symptoms and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). Treatment with cardiac support, prednisone, and immunosuppressive medications led to improvement of symptoms and LVEF in 2 of 3 SLE patients presenting with acute lupus myocarditis.
