In today’s episode of “That’s Pediatrics,” our hosts talk with Tyler Harris, MD, a pediatric cardiologist at UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh, about MIS-C, and specifically myocarditis – or inflammation of the heart – that can occur in children who have been diagnosed with COVID-19 or have received the vaccine. Our experts discuss how things will change as vaccination of children for COVID-19 continues to increase, the different ways that myocarditis is related to COVID-19, symptoms concerning for myocarditis that should prompt parents to seek attention for their child, risk factors that pre-dispose people to get myocarditis from COVID-19 or the vaccine, and much more.
