Cardiac effects of multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children: One-year follow-up.

Our results showed that cardiac involvement of patients improved rapidly with treatment, as indicated by previous studies. However, during the 1-year follow-up, frequent extraventricular systole was detected in two patients, one of whom initially did not show cardiac involvement. Moreover, possible interstitial fibrosis was detected in the cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) evaluation of two patients. In particular, we believe that these findings may be useful to evaluate critically ill paediatric patients and patients with severely low EF with cardiac MRI in their follow-up.
