What Is New on Paediatric Echocardiography for the Diagnosis, Management and Follow-Up of the Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome Associated with COVID-19?

Conventional echocardiography is an essential tool for the diagnosis, bedside management and follow-up evaluations of children with multisystem inflammatory syndrome associated with COVID-19. However, a more comprehensive echocardiographic exam, including myocardial deformation parameters, may allow...

description Conventional echocardiography is an essential tool for the diagnosis, bedside management and follow-up evaluations of children with multisystem inflammatory syndrome associated with COVID-19. However, a more comprehensive echocardiographic exam, including myocardial deformation parameters, may allow early identification of subtle changes in ventricular function, provide risk stratification and, identify sub-clinical cardiac dysfunction at follow-up. Thus, myocardial deformation analysis should be routinely integrated to conventional echocardiography assessment in these patients.
