Children recovering from mild COVID-19 showed subclinical cardiac dysfunction linked to reduced regulatory T cells and elevated inflammation 3 months post-infection.
Immune dysregulation may contribute to silent subclinical cardiac dysfunction in children recovering from mild or asymptomatic COVID-19.
Absolute Event Rate: 0% vs 0%
In a preliminary cohort of children recovering from asymptomatic or mild coronavirus disease 2019, subclinical cardiac contractility alterations were associated with reduced regulatory T cells, shorter telomeres and elevated inflammatory markers 3 months post-infection. These findings suggest that immune dysregulation may contribute to silent post-coronavirus disease 2019 cardiac dysfunction and warrant confirmation in larger cohorts with long-term follow-up.
