Betablockers for haemodynamically stable acute myocarditis

Results baseline LVEF was similar (p = 0.2) between ACE e BB groups, 61.9 ± 5% and 58,3 ± 7% respectively. DUAL group had a lower mean LVEF of 54 ± 11%. At follow up, LVEF was unchanged in ACE group ( from 61.9 to 61.2%), and improved in BB group, from 58 to 63% (p = 0,04). In DUAL group LVEF improved in a similar extent from 54 to 59% (p 0,01). Myocardial T2 STIR edema, significantly decreased at f.u. in all groups. All the remaining CMR parameters had non-significant modification from baseline to f.u.; LGE mass showed borderline significance toward reduction (p = 0.066).
