Cardiovascular abnormalities in multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children related to COVID-19
Myocardial dysfunction and coronary abnormalities are the most frequent cardiovascular features in patients with MIS-C. Strain technology in echocardiography identifies early myocardial dysfunction, with studies showing persistent subclinical injuries. Despite ejection fraction and coronary anomalies returning to normal short to medium term, long-term cardiovascular effects of MIS-C remain uncertain, necessitating ongoing cardiology monitoring.
