Colchicine is an FDA-approved medicine that has been used for many years to prevent and treat gout flares as well as familial mediterranean fever. It is also used off-label to treat pericarditis, calcium pyrophosphate illness, and Behçet’s syndrome. There are additional studies on the use of colchicine, which is accepted as the standard treatment for pericarditis in adults, post-pericardiotomy syndrome, post-operative and post-ablation atrial fibrillation, coronary artery disorders, prior to percutaneous coronary procedures, and myocarditis. Colchicine appears to be a promising oral cardiovascular treatment targeting the inflammatory axis, owing to its low cost and moderate side-effect profile. Our aim is to emphasise that colchicine treatment, which has a strong and effective anti-inflammatory effect profile, should be kept in mind in addition to conventional treatment in childhood myocarditis. |
