Insights

Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) can cause severe heart failure. This case report details a child requiring mechanical circulatory support, including ECMO and a ventricular assist device, for acute left ventricular failure.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatrics
  • Cardiology
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) is a rare but serious condition following SARS-CoV-2 infection.
  • A subset of MIS-C patients develops severe cardiac complications, including acute heart failure.
  • Left ventricular failure is a critical manifestation requiring intensive management.

Cardiomyopathy II: Dilated Cardiomyopathy

Dilated cardiomyopathy, or DCM, is a progressive myocardial disorder characterized by ventricular chamber dilation and contractile dysfunction.EtiologyVarious factors can cause DCM, including hypertension and heavy alcohol intake, which contribute to the weakening and enlargement of the heart muscle. Viral infections, such as Coxsackievirus B, adenoviruses, and influenza, can lead to DCM by causing inflammation and damage to heart tissue. Certain chemotherapeutic agents, including daunorubicin,...
