Deepika Thacker, M.D., a pediatric cardiologist with Nemours Children’s Health System, Wilmington, Del., helped discover one of the first cases of multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) in the United States. She explains how they treated the first and subsequent pediatric patients with the COVID-19 related syndrome. Read more about the first case of MIS-C Nemours treated in the article Case Study Describes One of the First U.S. Cases of MIS-C.
The dangerous Kawasaki Disease-like syndrome occurs in a small number of children exposed to the COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) virus. MIS-C is an autoimmune reaction where the COVID appears asymptomatic, but the immune system overeacts to the virus and begins attacking health tissues in the body. It causes severe causes inflammation of the heart, lungs and other vital organs.
CDC Reports 800 U.S. Children Diagnosed With MIC-C
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported as of Sept. 10, 2020, there have been 792 confirmed cases in the United States of the rare MIS-C condition in children that is linked to COVID-19.
The agency also reported there have been 16 deaths reported from the MIS-C cases reported in 42 states, New York City and Washington, D.C., as of Sept. 3. Nearly all cases of MIS-C occurred in children who tested positive for the new coronavirus, while the remainder were in children who were around a person with COVID-19.
The CDC report also gave the following statistics:
• Most cases are in children between the ages of 1 and 14 years, with an average age of 8 years.
• Cases have occurred in children from <1 year old to 20 years old.
• More than 70% of reported cases have occurred in children who are Hispanic/Latino (276 cases) or non-Hispanic Black (230 cases).
• 99% of cases (783) tested positive for SARS CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. The remaining 1% were around someone with COVID-19.
• Most children developed MIS-C 2-4 weeks after infection with SARS-CoV-2.
• Slightly more than half (54%) of reported cases were male.

As part of DAIC's continuing Thought Leadership Series, this month Editorial Director Melinda Taschetta-Millane sits down with Philip B. Adamson, MD, MSc, FACC, Chief Medical Officer of CVRx, to talk about health equity — starting at the beginning of clinical trials, and including how medical device manufacturers need a clear roadmap from the get-go to achieve success.
As Chief Medical Officer of CVRx, Dr. Adamson will spearhead efforts to drive awareness and appropriate use of Barostim therapy among clinicians. He will guide comprehensive medical education, outreach and guideline integration initiatives to establish Barostim as the standard of care for patients with heart failure. Dr. Adamson previously was with Abbott Laboratories, where he served as Divisional Vice President and Chief Medical Officer of the Heart Failure division. A renowned expert in heart failure, he has nearly three decades of experience in academia as a professor and as a practicing cardiologist, during which time he authored over 150 manuscripts and book chapters. Dr. Adamson earned his MD with distinction from the University of Oklahoma College of Medicine and MSc in physiology from the University of Oklahoma.
His clinical interests focus on developing more efficient and effective disease management systems for patients with chronic heart failure, specifically focusing on remote monitoring of physiologic signals from implanted devices. He has also served as the principal investigator on the steering committees of several large randomized clinical trials over the past decade.

As part of DAIC's continuing Thought Leadership Series, this month Editorial Director Melinda Taschetta-Millane sits down with Philip B. Adamson, MD, MSc, FACC, Chief Medical Officer of CVRx, to talk about health equity — starting at the beginning of clinical trials, and including how medical device manufacturers need a clear roadmap from the get-go to achieve success.
As Chief Medical Officer of CVRx, Dr. Adamson will spearhead efforts to drive awareness and appropriate use of Barostim therapy among clinicians. He will guide comprehensive medical education, outreach and guideline integration initiatives to establish Barostim as the standard of care for patients with heart failure. Dr. Adamson previously was with Abbott Laboratories, where he served as Divisional Vice President and Chief Medical Officer of the Heart Failure division. A renowned expert in heart failure, he has nearly three decades of experience in academia as a professor and as a practicing cardiologist, during which time he authored over 150 manuscripts and book chapters. Dr. Adamson earned his MD with distinction from the University of Oklahoma College of Medicine and MSc in physiology from the University of Oklahoma.
His clinical interests focus on developing more efficient and effective disease management systems for patients with chronic heart failure, specifically focusing on remote monitoring of physiologic signals from implanted devices. He has also served as the principal investigator on the steering committees of several large randomized clinical trials over the past decade.
