Cardiovascular involvement in children with COVID-19 temporally related multisystem inflammatory syndrome (MIS-C): can cardiac magnetic resonance arrive to the heart of the problem?

Background: Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) shows a significant overlap of symptoms with other hyper-inflammatory diseases such as Kawasaki disease (KD), but the real difference of the two conditions is still matter of debate. Coronary artery lesions (CAL) are the most relevant complication in KD. Nonetheless, CAL, myocarditis, pericarditis, arrhythmia are the main cardiovascular complications in MIS-C.
