Article Synopsis
- Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM) can affect the heart, leading to serious conditions like myocarditis and cardiac arrest, yet specific treatment guidelines are lacking.
- A case study discusses a 71-year-old man with newly diagnosed myositis who suffered a cardiac arrest linked to his condition, following symptoms of muscle weakness and elevated enzyme levels.
- After being resuscitated, he showed signs of myocarditis but improved with treatment, including an implantable cardioverter defibrillator and intravenous immunoglobulin therapy.

We further conducted a feasibility and utility study that demonstrates how different data sources can contribute to and assist phase I trial designs. Single-drug and drug combination toxicity and pharmacokinetic data were primarily reviewed from several databases.
