Monitoring Drug-induced Myocarditis (CardiTOX)

Several drugs and chemotherapies seem to induce myocarditis. This study investigates reports of myocarditis, including the International classification of disease ICD-10 for treatments in the World Health Organization (WHO) global Individual Case Safety Report (ICSR) database (VigiBase).

About this study

Several drugs and chemotherapies seem to have an impact on the myocardium and are responsible of myocarditis. Those are poorly described, due to the modification of the pharmacopeia, and the recent recognition of several of these adverse events. This study investigates the main characteristics of patients affected by myocarditis side effect imputed to drugs. A causality assessment according to the WHO-UMC (World Health Organization - Uppsala Monitoring Center) is systematically applied.
