Short-term Cardiovascular Complications of Multi-system Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C) in Adolescents and Children.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose of review

We provide the readers with a review of cardiac complications in children with multi-system inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) and its short-term outcomes.

Recent findings

Recent reports described the acute cardiac manifestations of MIS-C in children and provided a glimpse of the short-term outcomes.

Summary

Children with MIS-C have been reported to acutely have variable degrees of cardiac findings including abnormal cardiac enzymes, abnormal electrocardiographs, decreased systolic function, coronary artery abnormalities from coronary dilation to giant aneurysms, mitral valve regurgitation, tricuspid valve regurgitation, aortic valve insufficiency, pericardial effusion, diastolic dysfunction, abnormal cardiac strain, and abnormal cardiac MRI.
