DRESSLER SYNDROME IN VIEW OF MODERN IDEAS

Highlights

The frequency of Dressler syndrome decreased sharply from 20 to less than 5% with the introduction of early reperfusion into clinical practice. Relapses of Dressler’s post-infarction syndrome are quite common. The review presents current literature data on the etiology and pathogenesis, diagnostic methods and various approaches to the treatment of Dressler syndrome, including the effectiveness of colchicine and reports on the use of immunoglobulins.

Annotation

The development of Dressler syndrome relapses within 1 year after the first occurrence of the event, despite the decrease in the frequency of the disease, emphasizes the relevance of the problem under consideration. Dressler syndrome is based on autoimmune genesis. Echocardiography is the “gold standard” of instrumental diagnostics and the most sensitive imaging method for suspected Dressler syndrome, but in some cases magnetic resonance imaging may be effective. There is currently no single treatment regimen for autoimmune pericarditis. Most literature sources indicate the most frequent use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, glucocorticosteroids and colchicine. The article highlights the literature data on etiology, modern views on pathogenesis, current methods of diagnosis of Dressler syndrome and various approaches to treatment tactics and drug selection. The following resources were used: eLIBRARY.ru, PubMed. The keywords were as follows: “Dressler syndrome”, “postinfarction syndrome”, “postpericardiotomy syndrome”, “myocardial infarction”. The articles published primarily in the last 5 years (2017-2022) were preferred.
