  • Descrição: In the current study we analyzed clinical evolution and therapeutic aspects of malignant diphtheric myocarditis. Fourteen patients with primary diagnosis of diphtheria were prospectively evaluated. Cardiac involvement was detected after 11.5 (mean) days. The diagnosis of diphtheric myocarditis was done in clinical basis. Seven (50%) patients died. Cardiac failure was a common finding in all cases. Complete A-V block was identified in eight (57%) patients. Temporary pacemaker was implanted in 10 cases, six of them died due to myocardial failure. Definitive pacemaker was necessary in two patients with persistent complete A-V block after one-month follow-up. One patient with atrial fibrillation died with sepsis. Respiratory infection was the commonest extracardiac complication (six cases) and two patients developed Guillain-Barré syndrome. We also identified neurologic, renal and adrenal complications. Cardiac rhythm disturbances in diphtheric myocarditis are associated with high probability of necessity of temporary pacemaker and high mortality. Definitive pacemaker can be implanted in persistent complete A-V block.
