Review examines lasting heart and autonomic problems after COVID-19 in children

This human-health review examined cardiovascular and autonomic outcomes in children after SARS-CoV-2 infection or multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C). It reports that obvious heart dysfunction usually improved, while some studies found persistent changes on more sensitive tests and symptoms linked with autonomic dysfunction. The importance of these findings for children’s long-term health remains uncertain.
