Can I Take Anakinra For Familial Cold Autoinflammatory Syndrome?
At 66 yrs old, I have recently been diagnosed with FCAS and started using Anakinra with wonderful results. Last week, I was admitted to the hospital, had an angiogram and was told I have myocarditis. Is there any connection between heart disease, FCAS and/or Anakinra?

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern and looking to the given history here I could say that the detection of myocarditis and FCAS is nothing to do, if you do not have any symptoms as far as the myocarditis then this could be silent feature and in my opinion better to consult the cardiologist to have opinion, hope this information helps you, take care and have a nice day.
