First author (year) | No. of participants | Average age ± SD (years) | No. of asymptomatic (%) | No. of symptomatic (%) | Elevated troponin I or T levels | LGE presence | No. of myocarditis |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Rajpal et al. (2020) [16] | 26 | 19.5 ± 1.5 | 14/26 (54%) | 12/26 (46%) | 0/26 | 12/26 | 4 |
Vago et al. (2020) [25] | 12 | 23 | 2/12 (17%) | 10/12 (83%) | 0/12 | 0/12 | 0 |
Brito et al. (2020) [17] | 54 | 19 | 16/54 (30%) | 38/54 (70%) | 1/54 | 1/54 | 0 |
Clark et al. (2020) [15] | 22 | 20 | 5/22 (23%) | 17/22 (77%) | 0/22 | 2/22 | 1 |
Each study analyzed serum troponin I or T levels and utilized CMR to evaluate LGE and other cardiac parameters. Only Clark et al. [15] performed transthoracic echocardiography in addition to hsTnT and CMR.
