Electrocardiographic abnormalities and arrhythmias | |
Abnormalities related to myocardial dysfunction or myocarditis |
Diffuse ST segment elevation or depression T wave abnormality (inversion in lateral leads) Low QRS voltages Premature ventricular contractions Ventricular tachycardia |
Abnormalities similar to Kawasaki disease |
Non-specific ST and T wave changes Myocardial ischemia PR prolongation Ventricular arrhythmia |
Sinus node dysfunction and heart block |
Sinus node dysfunction (bradycardia) PR prolongation Atrioventricular block |
Inherited arrhythmias and sudden death |
Prolonged QT Unmasking of Brugada pattern in patients with underlying Brugada syndrome in setting of fever Sudden cardiac death due to fatal arrhythmias |
Echocardiographic abnormalities | |
Ventricles | Depressed function of either or both ventricles, may be severe and may exhibit global or regional dysfunction |
Abnormal myocardial strain | |
Apical thrombus in setting of severely depressed function | |
Coronary arteries | Abnormal enhancement of coronary arterial walls |
Coronary arterial ectasia or dilation | |
Aneurysm formation | |
Thrombus formation in setting of severe coronary dilation | |
Valves | Valvulitis with valvar insufficiency, particularly the mitral valve |
Pericardium | Pericardial effusion |
Aortic root | Aortic root dilation |
