COVID-19 MANAGEMENT IN CHILDREN: APPROACH IN PEDIATRIC CARDIOLOGY

Abstract

In children, cardiac involvement can be observed during the course of COVID-19, which is mostly mild, and COVID-19 may develop in children who have previously been known to have congenital or acquired heart disease. The subject of this article is how these children should be evaluated cardiacly, and how the follow-up and treatment of children with heart disease will be managed during the pandemic. Considering the articles and guides published in the literature, some determinations were made and the suggestions developed were presented in this article.

ÇOCUKLARDA COVID-19 YÖNETİMİ: ÇOCUK KARDİYOLOJİDE YAKLAŞIM

Abstract

Çocuklarda çoğu zaman hafif seyreden COVID-19 seyri sırasında kardiyak tutulum görülebileceği gibi, daha önce doğumsal yada edinsel kalp hastalığı olduğu bilinen çocuklarda da COVID-19 gelişebilir. Bu çocukların kardiyak açıdan nasıl değerlendirilmesi gerektiği, ayrıca kalp hastalığı bulunan çocukların takip ve tedavilerinin pandemi süresince nasıl yönetileceği bu makalenin konusudur. Literatürde yayınlanmış olan makale ve rehberler dikkate alınarak bazı saptamalar yapılmış ve geliştirilen öneriler bu yazıda sunulmuştur.
