Cardiac manifestations in SARS-CoV-2-associated multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children: a comprehensive review and proposed clinical approach

Francesca Sperotto et al.

Summary: Initial reports indicated that children were less affected by severe COVID-19 symptoms, but clusters of pediatric cases with severe systemic hyperinflammation and shock linked to COVID-19 have emerged since mid-April 2020. This condition, defined as SARS-CoV-2-associated multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children, shares similarities with Kawasaki disease. Patients often present with persistent fever, gastrointestinal symptoms, rash, conjunctivitis, and mucosal changes, along with elevated inflammatory markers and cytokine storm. Management involves cardiac support, immunomodulation, and anticoagulation during the acute phase, with long-term follow-up crucial due to uncertain prognosis and potential cardiac complications.
