A case of the development of Dressler syndrome in a patient with acute diffuse myocarditis

Abstract

A clinical case of the development of classic Dressler syndrome in a young patient with acute diffuse myocarditis is described. Timely diagnosis, administration of glucocorticoid and long-term complex therapy using beta-blockers (carvedilol), mineralocorticoid receptor blockers (eplerenone) not only led to the disappearance of Dressler’s syndrome, but also to a fairly rapid recovery of the patient from the underlying disease.
