Pediheart Podcast #189: Cardiac MRI Findings At Mid-Term Following MIS-C

Pediheart: Pediatric Cardiology Today

This week we delve into the coronavirus pandemic and specifically the multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) following COVID-19 infection. When there was significant initial cardiac involvement seen in the setting of MIS-C, what findings are common in the CMR of patients 6+ months later? How common is delayed enhancement seen and how does this compare with findings seen in other myocarditis patients? Who should be referred for a CMR following MIS-C? Dr. David Barris, 2nd year cardiology fellow at Mount Sinai Kravis Children's Heart Center in NYC and the first author of this week's work, provides the answers this week.
