Dallas Proposed Treatment Recommendations We suggest Implantable Cardiac Defibrillator (ICD) and Anti-arrhythmic medications for pre-arrest management of cardiac arrest in pediatric dilated cardiomyopathy or myocarditis (weak recommendation, very low quality evidence) We suggest use of ECMO for patients with myocarditis presenting with dysrhythmia, lactic acidosis, renal, or hepatic dysfunction for consideration of ECMO (weak recommendation, very low quality evidence)

Dallas 2015 Evidence profile table(s)

Dallas 2015 Proposed Consensus on Science statements 1.For the critical outcome of survival to hospital discharge, we have identified no evidence that a specific pre-arrest management strategy in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) or myocarditis shows a benefit (Song, 2010, 1951; Eicken, 2006, 30) 2.For the critical outcome of survival to hospital discharge, we have identified no evidence that a specific anesthesia technique in patients with DCM shows benefit. The incidence of cardiac arrest in patient with DCM undergoing procedural anesthesia is low (1.7%). (Lynch, 2011, 951). 3.For the critical outcome of survival with good neurological outcome, we have identified very low quality evidence from an observational study of 12 children with DCM or myocarditis, and documented ventricular tachycardia, that use of ICD or anti- arrhythmic agents may not lead to improved outcome. The risk of inappropriate shock and complications could not be estimated from the study. (Song, 2010, 1951) 4.For the critical outcome of survival to hospital discharge, we have identified very low quality evidence from an observational study of 20 children with acute myocarditis that demonstrated that the use of ECMO may lead to improved outcomes. Cardiac arrest and need for ECMO was associated with those presenting with dysrhythmia, lactic acidosis, renal, or liver dysfunction, (Teele, 2011, 638).

Dallas 2015 Draft Treatment Recommendations We suggest that ECMO be used for patients with myocarditis presenting with high risk features (Arrhythmia, Lactic acidosis, Renal and liver dysfunction) and where the appropriate resources for this are available (weak recommendation based on very low quality evidence) There is insufficient evidence upon which to base a recommendation for the empiric use of ICD or anti- arrhythmia medications for children with dilative cardiomyopathy or myocarditis in a pre-arrest state. (weak recommendation based on very low quality evidence)

Dallas 2015 Knowledge Gaps Factors associated with cardiac arrest in patients with DCM or myocarditis have not been studied There is little knowledge on benefits of pre- arrest initiation of inotropes/inodilators, mechanical ventilation, or ECMO on survival and neurological outcomes in children with DCM or myocarditis
