Elevated cardiac biomarkers and outcomes in children and adolescents with acute COVID-19

Michael A. Fremed et al.

Summary: This retrospective cohort study aimed to describe the cardiac involvement in children with SARS-CoV-2 infection without inflammatory syndrome and report the outcomes of patients with and without elevated cardiac biomarkers. The findings showed that some patients had cardiomyopathy, and all of them had underlying comorbidities. The study also identified some electrocardiographic abnormalities.

Adaptations of paediatric cardiology practice during the COVID-19 pandemic

Michael A. Fremed et al.

Summary: During the initial surge of the COVID-19 pandemic, paediatric heart centres in the United States made changes such as decreasing procedures, limiting visitors, and transitioning to telemedicine encounters to minimize interruption to patient care and exposure to the virus. The information from this study can be helpful in guiding and standardizing responses to future public health crises.

The role and efficacy of routine high-sensitivity troponin T screening in paediatric COVID-19

Mehmet G. Ramoglu et al.

Summary: Routine troponin screening does not provide much information in previously healthy pediatric COVID-19 patients without any signs of myocardial dysfunction. Elevated troponin levels may be observed, but it is mostly a sign of myocardial injury without detectable myocardial dysfunction in this group of patients.

Cardiac Manifestations in Children with SARS-COV-2 Infection: 1-Year Pediatric Multicenter Experience

Nicoletta Cantarutti et al.

Summary: The study found that cardiac involvement is not rare in children with SARS-COV-2, and occurred in almost all patients with MIS-C. However, patients' recovery is satisfactory and no additional events were reported during follow-up.

Summary: COVID-19 affects patients of all ages, including children, who may develop MIS-C with similarities to Kawasaki disease but also distinct differences, such as more severe gastrointestinal symptoms and cardiovascular involvement.

Predictive value of cardiac markers in the prognosis of COVID-19 in children

Ufuk Utku Gullu et al.

Summary: This study revealed various symptoms present in pediatric COVID-19 patients and suggested that cardiac biomarkers like proBNP and troponin I could be used for early diagnosis of cardiac involvement and/or MIS-C, as well as predicting related morbidity and mortality in this population.

Cardiac troponin and COVID-19 severity: Results from BIOCOVID study

Luis Garcia de Guadiana-Romualdo et al.

Summary: Myocardial injury is common in COVID-19 patients and elevated troponin levels, especially when measured using sex-specific cut-offs and troponin T, are associated with increased prevalence and 30-day mortality, making it an important predictor for risk stratification in COVID-19.

Prognostic performance of troponin in COVID-19: A diagnostic meta-analysis and meta-regression

Arief Wibowo et al.

Summary: This study found that 31% of patients with COVID-19 had elevated troponin levels, which were associated with increased mortality. The sensitivity of elevated troponin in predicting mortality was 55%, with a specificity of 80%.

Differences Between Pediatric Acute Myocarditis Related and Unrelated to SARS-CoV-2

Vladislav A. Vukomanovic et al.

Summary: Patients with acute myocarditis related to SARS-CoV-2 showed higher CRP levels, diverse clinical presentations, shorter duration of inotropic drug use, and prompt recovery of left ventricle systolic function compared to those unrelated to SARS-CoV-2.

Summary: The study indicated that measuring cTnI levels upon presentation in COVID-19 patients could predict severity and outcome, assisting physicians in triaging patients and reducing mortality.

How safe are children with COVID-19 from cardiac risks? Pediatric risk assesment; insights from echocardiography and electrocardiography

Berna Saylan Cevik et al.

Summary: The study found that cardiovascular parameters such as Tp-Te, Tp-Te/QT, and Tp-Te/QTc significantly increased in children with COVID-19 infections, with some patients exhibiting fragmented QRS waves but no pathologic QTc prolongation. Echocardiographic examination revealed mild mitral insufficiency in some patients, with a low incidence of systolic dysfunction, and the IVRT of COVID patients was significantly lower than that of the control group.
