Overview

Observational study evaluates cardiac outcomes in children with MIS-C, highlighting low rates of myocarditis and ventricular dysfunction.

Key Points

  • Rates of myocarditis were found to be low, with only 3.5% of children meeting criteria on their initial cardiac MRI.
  • Ventricular dysfunction was present in 6.7% of the children at the time of their first cardiac MRI.
  • Coronary artery dilation was observed in 7.5% of children, with rates slightly increasing at 3 and 6 months follow-up after MIS-C symptoms onset.
  • The study included 255 children diagnosed with MIS-C, primarily ages 11.4 years, with a focus on their cardiac MRI findings and subsequent outcomes.
