Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection significantly reduced left ventricular ejection fraction to 54.77% compared to 60.62% in healthy controls, with partial recovery observed after 3 months.

How does left ventricular function recover over time in children with Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia as evaluated by cardiac magnetic resonance feature tracking?
Cardiac magnetic resonance feature tracking demonstrates that while LVEF and myocardial strain typically recover within three months in children with Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia, some subclinical abnormalities or inflammation may persist.
Absolute Event Rate: 54.77% vs 60.62%
p-value: p=0.004
Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection might affect LV function in children. The LVEF and myocardial strain generally show good recovery after three months, although some children may continue to exhibit abnormalities in other cardiac function parameters or imaging signs of cardiac inflammation.
Lu et al. (Thu,) conducted a observational in Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (n=79). Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection vs. Healthy controls was evaluated on Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) (95% CI -1.336 to -0.254, p=0.004). Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection significantly reduced left ventricular ejection fraction to 54.77% compared to 60.62% in healthy controls, with partial recovery observed after 3 months.
