Abstract

MIS-C is a rare complication of SARS-CoV-2 infection in children. While Acute myocardial dysfunction is the most common cardiac finding in patients with MIS-C, arrhythmia is usually not common. There have been only a few reports of arrhythmia associated with MIS-C in pediatric patients. We present a case of a 12-years-old boy with severe myocardial dysfunction, accompanied by chaotic Tachy and brady-arrhythmias. He met the diagnosis criteria for MIS-C protocol. The patient kept hemodynamically stable and responded well to medical treatment, with almost complete recovery within ten days.

Keywords:SARS-CoV-2; MIS-C; Tachy-Brady Arrhythmias; Myocardial Dysfunction
