Abstract
Lupus myocarditis is a serious, potentially deadly disease. When it presents as an acute or fulminant myocarditis in a patient without an established diagnosis of lupus, lupus as an etiology of the condition is not commonly suspected. Meanwhile, it has a distinct treatment which may be lifesaving. Review of the literature can shed more light as current management is mostly based on clinical experience and case reports rather than randomized control trials. In this review we are discussing this diagnostic entity, focusing on cardiogenic shock as a manifestation of lupus myocarditis, and discussing management including aggressive immunosuppression, mechanical circulatory support, and cardiac transplantation.

Abstract
Myocarditis is an inflammatory disease of the heart that may occur because of infections, immune system activation, or exposure to drugs. The diagnosis of myocarditis has changed due to the introduction of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. We present an expert consensus document aimed to summarize the common terminology related to myocarditis meanwhile highlighting some areas of controversies and uncertainties and the unmet clinical needs. In fact, controversies persist regarding mechanisms that determine the transition from the initial trigger to myocardial inflammation and from acute myocardial damage to chronic ventricular dysfunction. It is still uncertain which viruses (besides enteroviruses) cause direct tissue damage, act as triggers for immune-mediated damage, or both. Regarding terminology, myocarditis can be characterized according to etiology, phase, and severity of the disease, predominant symptoms, and pathological findings. Clinically, acute myocarditis (AM) implies a short time elapsed from the onset of symptoms and diagnosis (generally <1 month). In contrast, chronic inflammatory cardiomyopathy indicates myocardial inflammation with established dilated cardiomyopathy or hypokinetic nondilated phenotype, which in the advanced stages evolves into fibrosis without detectable inflammation. Suggested diagnostic and treatment recommendations for AM and chronic inflammatory cardiomyopathy are mainly based on expert opinion given the lack of well-designed contemporary clinical studies in the field. We will provide a shared and practical approach to patient diagnosis and management, underlying differences between the European and US scientific statements on this topic. We explain the role of histology that defines subtypes of myocarditis and its prognostic and therapeutic implications.

Abstract
In this case series we present two young female patients presenting in the peripartum period with cardiogenic shock. Both patients had underlying autoimmune diseases, one with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and the other with antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). In both cases cardiogenic shock was a direct manifestation of their autoimmune condition, and with prompt diagnosis and management both patients were able to recover. This case series illustrates the importance of early recognition of cardiogenic shock as a rare manifestation both of SLE and APS.
