Comparison of Strain and Conventional Echocardiography in Predicting ICU Needs in MIS-C

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The study compared strain echocardiography and conventional echocardiography in predicting ICU needs in patients with multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C). The aim was to determine which modality was better at identifying patients who would require ICU-level therapies. The results showed that strain echocardiography was superior to conventional echocardiography in detecting cardiac dysfunction in MIS-C patients. Abnormal strain was found to better identify patients who would need ICU-level care, positive pressure ventilation, and vasoactive support. The study suggests that strain echocardiography can be a valuable tool in early detection and management of myocardial dysfunction in high-risk patients.
