Methods: This retrospective case-control study included all patients who presented to a pediatric emergency department between 2010 and 2021 and underwent troponin testing for suspected myocarditis. Myocarditis cases (identified using American Heart Association criteria) and controls were to approximate a 1:2 ratio.
