Coronavirus infection poses a particular danger in relation to decompensation of existing chronic diseases and specific damage to the cardiovascular system (CVS) both during an acute infection and during convalescence. Objective of the study: to summarize current knowledge about the potential involvement of CVS in the development and progression of acute COVID-19 infection and multisystem inflammatory syndrome (MIS) in children and to form an sense of the predictive value, diagnostic tactics and treatment of cardiac anomalies during the coronavirus pandemic. A search was performed in MEDLINE, PubMed, e-library using the search terms «cardiovascular disease in COVID-19/MIS in children», «congenital heart disease/pulmonary hypertension/prolonged QT interval and COVID-19 in children» to identify articles published from April 1, 2020 to May 1, 2021. A literature review indicates that cardiac disorders associated with the new coronavirus infection in children, in the vast majority of cases, developed during MIS, which manifests itself in the form of febrile fever, external signs of Kawasaki disease, hyperinflammatory state and multi-organ damage with an emphasis on CVS. Cardiovascular symptoms occur in the vast majority of children with MIS, and in more than half of the patients – by the type of myocardial dysfunction and/or shock, somewhat less often – in the form of ECG changes, pericardial effusion, сoronary artery ectasia. Against the background of treatment with steroids, intravenous human immunoglobulin (IVIG) and biologic drugs in combination with inotropic support in almost all children, the morphofunctional characteristics of CVS are restored to normal or subnormal levels in a few days. The need for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and lethal cases are rare. The possibility of developing myocarditis (including fatal), pulmonary hypertension and cardiac arrhythmias associated with COVID-19 in pediatric patients with discussion of possible pathophysiological mechanisms was also described. Long-term observation of this category of persons is necessary due to the uncertain prognosis and the risk of progression of cardiac manifestations. An early comprehensive diagnosis of cardiac disorders and monitoring of the identified changes in children with MIS and acute coronavirus infection are needed.
Антиаритмическая активность четвертичных аммониевых производных амиодарона — N-аллил-N-(2-этиламидо-4-аминофенил)диэтиламина бромида (LHT-A104) и циннаризина — N,N-диаллил-1-циннамоил-4-дифенилметила, пиперидиния дибромида (LHT-Ц104) изучена в эквитоксических дозах (5 % от LD50), определенных для мышей при внутрибрюшинном введении. Профилактическая антиаритмическая активность соединений установлена на моделях желудочковой аритмии в раннюю стадию экспериментального инфаркта миокарда у кошек и при интоксикации мышей аритмогенной дозой хлорида кальция. Оба соединения эффективно ограничивали зону некроза при экспериментальном инфаркте миокарда у крыс. На аконитиновой модели аритмии у мышей оба соединения оказались неэффективными. Cделан вывод о том, что противоаритмическое и противоишемическое действие четвертичных производных амиодарона и циннаризина опосредовано их антикальциевыми свойствами и не связано с блокадой натриевых каналов.
Исследован тиреоидный статус у 45 детей на протяжении 1 года применения амиодарона. У большинства пациентов отмечены индивидуальные колебания уровня гормонов и увеличение объема щитовидной железы, но клинически значимые тиреопатии выявлены в 8,8 % случаев. У 2 детей (4,4 %) диагностирован гипотиреоз, у 2 % — тиреотоксикоз. Описан клинический случай развития амиодарон-индуцированного тиреотоксикоза. Продемонстрированы сложности диагностики и возможность спонтанной ремиссии данного состояния. Полученные результаты подтверждают относительно низкую вероятность развития амиодарон-индуцированных тиреопатий в педиатрической практике.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
