Potential Heart Problems in Convalescent COVID-19 Children: Alert from a Cuban Study.

Abstract

Although children with COVID-19 are often asymptomatic or exhibit only mild symptoms, they can transmit the disease and suffer from serious manifestations. In Cuba, 2932 patients ≤18 years old tested positive for COVID-19 between March 2020 and February 1, 2021. Most of these children presented few to no symptoms upon diagnosis. At the time of this writing, 82.8% of those children had recovered,[1] and there had not been a single pediatric death due to the novel coronavirus.
