Vascular function and arterial stiffness in multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children with Covid-19.
Children with MIS-C exhibited higher pulse pressure, indicating potential arterial stiffness. They also showed lower FMD, suggesting endothelial dysfunction. FMD appears to be a more reliable indicator of endothelial dysfunction in MIS-C patients compared to aortic strain. These findings underscore the importance of early assessment and monitoring of cardiovascular complications in MIS-C patients. Endothelial dysfunction and arterial stiffness are well-established risk factors for future cardiovascular events.
