In contrast to adults, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) usually leads to a mild illness in children. However, a few children have been reported to have severe manifestations including pneumonia, acute kidney injury, multi-organ failure and cardiac injury. This review focuses on cardiac involvement during SARS-CoV-2 infection and the recently described likely immune mediated post-COVID-19 syndrome. Therapeutic strategies for cardiac dysfunction in both these settings are briefly discussed.
与成人不同，严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒 2（SARS-CoV-2）通常导致儿童轻症。然而，有少数儿童出现严重表现，包括肺炎、急性肾损伤、多器官衰竭和心脏损伤。这篇综述重点关注 SARS-CoV-2 感染期间的心脏受累以及最近描述的可能与 COVID-19 后免疫相关的综合征。简要讨论了这两种情况下心脏功能障碍的治疗策略。
