Sure- we use it fairly routinely for pericarditis. Good evidence that colchicine for 6 months after Dx of pericarditis reduces the probability of recurrence.Colchicine? And doubled the dose?
I’d recommend a new cardiologist. Lol
Maybe I’m missing something. @SC MMA MD , what do think? Do you ever use colchicine for heart conditions?
I don’t currently use it in myocarditis, but there was a recent study that suggests it is effective in preventing progression of disease in post-viral myocarditis, and some of my adult colleagues have started using it in that setting. If additional evidence suggests it is indeed useful in post-viral myocarditis I will adopt it as well.
