Risks versus Benefits of NSAIDs Including Aspirin in Myocarditis A Review of the Evidence from Animal Studies
2003
NSAIDs, including aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid), are frequently used and effective in a broad variety of inflammatory diseases, i.e. rheumatic carditis and pericarditis. Myocarditis may constitute another suitable indication for NSAIDs in order to relieve the symptoms of the presumed viral infection or because pericardial effusion is often associated with this condition. However, concerns have been raised about their indiscriminate use in myocarditis. To clarify this issue, we conducted a systematic review of the literature concerning myocarditis, aspirin and NSAIDs.
