Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a systemic disorder where extraintestinal symptoms may involve virtually any organ system. Of these extraintestinal symptoms, those involving the heart are relatively rare but associated with significant morbidity. We reviewed the existing literature on noninfectious myocarditis and pericarditis in the pediatric IBD population, including extraintestinal manifestations (EIMs) of IBD and extraintestinal complications (EICs) from medication. We focused on the incidence, presentation, diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes for timely diagnosis and management of these potentially deadly diseases. In addition, we aim to identify and highlight the gaps in current knowledge for future studies and investigations.
