Exercise testing in patients with multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children-related myocarditis versus idiopathic or viral myocarditis.

Patients with multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children and viral myocarditis appear to, on average, have normal exercise capacity around 3-6 months following hospital discharge. For patients with viral/idiopathic myocarditis, those with worse ejection fraction during hospitalisation had lower peak VO2 on cardiopulmonary exercise test.
