Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is responsible for significant lung disease in adults. Despite mild manifestations in most children, multisystem inflammatory syndrome (MIS-C) associated with COVID-19 is well described in older children with cardiac manifestations. However, MIS-C-related cardiac manifestations are not as well described in younger children.
