ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
The aims of this study were to document our single-center experience with pediatric acute fulminant myocarditis (AFM) and to investigate its clinical features and short-term outcomes.METHODS:
We performed a retrospective chart review of all children 24 hours after admission in 4 of the 13 patients (30.7%), and 3 of those 4 patients (75%) died.CONCLUSION:
AFM outcomes may be associated with complete atrioventricular block upon hospital admission, left ventricular fractional shortening at admission, time from admission to the initiation of ECMO support, initial brain natriuretic peptide level, and peak blood urea nitrogen level.
