Figure 2. Myocardial function is globally impaired in cases with MIS‐C compared with controls.

Figure 2

A, Global parameters of myocardial strain demonstrate impairments in LV systolic strain, RV systolic strain, and LA strain among cases with MIS‐C compared with controls. *P<0.001. B, The decrease in global strains in LV, RV, and LA are depicted by strain curves in a normal patient and a patient with MIS‐C during the acute phase of the disease. C, Similar impairments in mean segmental strain are observed across all LV segments. Data are expressed as means with SD in parentheses for MIS‐C vs control comparisons. EDSRL indicates longitudinal early diastolic strain rate; GCS, LV global circumferential strain; GLS, LV global longitudinal strain; LA, left atrial; LAS, left atrial strain; LV, left ventricular; MIS‐C, multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children; RV, right ventricular; and RVFWS, RV free wall strain.
