Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) is a rare post-infectious complication associated with COVID-19. This case report presents a detailed account of a paediatric patient diagnosed with MIS-C who developed dilated cardiomyopathy as a significant complication. This report aims to enhance our understanding of the rare potential cardiovascular implications of MIS-C and highlights the importance of prompt recognition and management.

Dilated cardiomyopathy is an expected manifestation and common cause of death in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. We present an unusually rapid progression of cardiomyopathy in a boy with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Expanded genetic testing revealed a contiguous Xp21 deletion involving dystrophin and XK genes, responsible for Duchenne muscular dystrophy and McLeod neuroacanthocytosis syndrome, respectively, resulting in a more severe cardiac phenotype.

Background: Left bundle branch block (LBBB) is a rare conduction disorder in athletes associated with ventricular dyssynchrony, which can lead to left ventricular systolic dysfunction and exercise intolerance. Inappropriate sinus tachycardia (IST) is characterized by an excessive heart rate (HR) that is not related to physiological needs, often resulting in reduced exercise capacity. Managing these conditions in athletes can be challenging, as standard treatments like beta-blockers and ivabradine, while effective in controlling HR, are described to be associated with a reduction in maximal exercise performance.

Energy deprivation and metabolic rewiring of cardiomyocytes are widely recognized hallmarks of heart failure. Here, we report that HEY2 (a Hairy/Enhancer-of-split-related transcriptional repressor) is upregulated in hearts of patients with dilated cardiomyopathy. Induced Hey2 expression in zebrafish hearts or mammalian cardiomyocytes impairs mitochondrial respiration, accompanied by elevated ROS, resulting in cardiomyocyte apoptosis and heart failure.

Necroptosis, a type of programmed cell death, has been increasingly linked to cardiovascular disease development, yet its role in dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) remains unclear. In this study, we analyzed the GSE5406 dataset from the GEO database to explore necroptosis-related prognostic signatures in DCM using LASSO regression. We identified five necroptosis-related genes (BID, CAMK2B, GLUL, HSP90AB1, CHMP5) that define a necroptosis-related signature with strong predictive value, evidenced by ROC curve areas of 0.
