FIGURE 5. Evolution of myocardial damage in children with myocarditis as represented by the intensity of serial antimyosin scans. The graphs show data from individual patients (left) and the evolution of mean HLR with ±1 SD (right). Data are represented for all patients (top), patients who showed complete resolution of antimyosin uptake (middle), and patients who continued with persistent antimyosin uptake over time (bottom). The persistence of antimyosin uptake was associated with poor clinical outcomes and resolution with left ventricular functional recovery.
