| Abstract |
Acute viral myocarditis is an uncommon inflammatory disease of the myocardium. Little is known about the long-term cardiovascular risk for individuals who have recovered from the acute illness. We compared intermediate vascular phenotypes relating to arterial structure (aortic and carotid intima-media thickness) and function (pulse wave velocity, carotid arterial distensibility and compliance) in 15 participants, a median of 9.1 years after an episode of acute viral myocarditis, and 45 control participants. Following adjustment for age, sex and triglycerides, there were no differences in mean and maximum carotid and aortic intima-media thickness, pulse wave velocity, carotid artery distensibility and compliance between viral myocarditis participants and controls. In conclusion, we found no evidence of changes in intermediate vascular phenotypes indicative of increased cardiovascular risk in individuals who had fully recovered from viral myocarditis. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 06 September 2018.
All research outputs
#18,648,325
of 23,102,082 outputs
Outputs from Pediatric Cardiology
#867
of 1,418 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#257,730
of 335,675 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Pediatric Cardiology
#18
of 41 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,102,082 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,418 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.8. This one is in the 22nd percentile – i.e., 22% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 335,675 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 12th percentile – i.e., 12% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 41 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 17th percentile – i.e., 17% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
