Cardiac disorders in burn injury

Abstract

The presented review highlights the peculiarities of cardiovascular system damages in burn injury. The epidemiological data on the incidence of thermal injuries are reported. The pathogenic mechanisms of heart disorders during various periods of burn injury, as well as pathological changes in the myocardium are examined in detail. The main clinical manifestations of heart damage on the background of burn disease have been identified (heart failure, myocarditis, infectious endocarditis, cardiac arrhythmias and conduction disturbances, myocardial infarction). Special attention is paid to laboratory and instrumental methods for investigation of the heart with a discussion of the benefits and disadvantages of each method. The manuscript discusses the main therapeutic approaches for the management of burn patients with cardiac pathology, as well as the possibilities of using and the effectiveness of modern treatment methods aimed at improving survival, diminishing the severity of cardiovascular disorders and improving the prognosis of such patients.
