Summary

This study looked back at 20 children under 18 who were in intensive care with heart inflammation (myocarditis) and a possible COVID-19 infection. The goal was to describe their symptoms, lab results, and heart function, and to figure out whether the virus directly damages the heart or if the body's own immune response causes the problem. The study is complete and helps doctors better understand this rare but serious condition.
