Coronary Artery Changes in Patients with Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children: Los Angeles Experience. uri icon

Overview

abstract

  • We compared cardiac findings in patients with multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children and Kawasaki disease in the first 6 months of the 2020 coronavirus disease pandemic to patients with Kawasaki disease during 2016-2019. We saw a high rate of coronary aneurysms in 2020, with a similar rate of coronary involvement but greater volume and incidence of cardiac dysfunction compared with previous years.
