Key result
Pediatric SARS-CoV-2 infection is linked to cardiovascular damage alongside typical respiratory symptoms.
Why the study?
Children are susceptible to SARS-CoV-2 infection, which can cause cardiovascular system damage, but the mechanisms and clinical features are not fully understood.
The outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) started in December 2019 in China and the epidemic is still going on at present. Since children are the susceptible population, the number of cases is gradually increasing. In addition to the typical respiratory symptoms, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection also has the clinical symptoms of cardiovascular system damage. Based on a literature review, this article discusses the possible cardiovascular system damage caused by SARS-CoV-2 in children and related mechanisms, in order to provide help for the timely treatment and prevention of cardiovascular system damage caused by SARS-CoV-2 in children.
