Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children: Survey of Protocols for Early Hospital Evaluation and Management.

Objective: To describe the similarities and differences in the evaluation and treatment of multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) at hospitals in the US.

Study Design: We conducted a cross-sectional survey from June 16 to July 16, 2020, of US children's hospitals regarding protocols for management of patients with MIS-C. Elements included characteristics of the hospital, clinical definition of MIS-C, evaluation, treatment, and follow-up.

Comparison of right and left ventricular function and size in Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

Introduction: Right ventricular (RV) size and function in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) have not been well described. Using cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging we describe the relationship of RV and left ventricular (LV) size and function in a large DMD cohort.

Methods: Latest CMR scans of 272 patients consecutively seen at a single tertiary referral center (2011-2014) with skeletal muscle biopsy confirmed DMD were included.
