Key result
Among children hospitalized with acute respiratory viral infections complicated by mild myocarditis, 11% (6 of 54) developed chronic heart pathology one year after the onset of the disease.

What are the clinical features and risk of developing chronic heart failure in children with ARVI-associated myocarditis?
ARVI-associated myocarditis in children carries a risk of progressing to chronic heart failure within one year.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
May warrant cardiac surveillance in affected children; leaves open precise risk and management needs pending larger studies.
The data on clinical, ECG, ultrasound and laboratory features of myocarditides that developed in children with acute respiratory viral infections (ARVI) have been presented in this article. The dynamics of changes and the identified possibility of forming the chronic pathology in a one year after the onset of the disease has been shown.

Руженцова et al. (2012) conducted an observational in Acute respiratory viral infections (ARVI) and myocarditis (n=108). ARVI complicated by myocarditis vs. ARVI without heart pathology was evaluated on Development of chronic heart pathology at 1 year. Among children hospitalized with acute respiratory viral infections complicated by mild myocarditis, 11% (6 of 54) developed chronic heart pathology one year after the onset of the disease.
