Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to identify risk factors for fulminant myocarditis in children with viral myocarditis by analyzing clinical and laboratory data from 71 patients.
- Out of the 71 children, 16 had fulminant myocarditis, resulting in an alarming 50% mortality rate, compared to zero deaths in the non-fulminant group.
- Key findings highlighted that prolonged QRS complex and decreased left ventricular ejection fraction could serve as independent risk factors for fulminant myocarditis, emphasizing the need for early detection to improve outcomes.
