Echocardiographic indices and cardiac magnetic resonance late gadolinium enhancement in adolescents at up to 1-year after COVID-19 vaccine–associated myocarditis. A, Boxplots showing the distribution of Z scores, which indicate the number of standard deviations in relation to the mean, of echocardiographic parameters (*significantly different from zero after Bonferroni adjustment for multiple comparisons). The plots illustrate the median (horizontal line), the interquartile range (IQR; box) differences in Z score between the study population and a healthy reference population, and outliers (circles) that are less than first quartile minus 1.5*IQR or greater than third quartile plus 1.5*IQR. B, Cardiac magnetic resonance images showing persistence of late gadolinium enhancement, which was assessed qualitatively using the single-shot short axis, single-shot 4-chamber stack, segmented short-axis stack, and 3-dimensional inversion recovery sequence, in the basal inferolateral segment (arrows). C, Distribution of cardiac magnetic resonance late gadolinium enhancement based on the 17-segment model. LV indicates left ventricular; and RV, right ventricular.
