Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in pediatric practice: a discussion on the association with COVID-19

It has been proven that the SARS-CoV-2 virus can initiate the development of a number of post-infectious complications in children, including cardiovascular and thrombotic complications, which are clearly demonstrated in the clinical case of heart transplantation, which is an extremely relevant practice for doctors of all specialties. Objective: to describe a clinical case of heart transplantation in a child who had COVID-19. The article presents a general understanding of the pathogenetically bidirectional relationship between the new coronavirus infection and cardiovascular complications, and provides a clinical case of heart transplantation in a 17-year-old child who had COVID-19. The clinical case we presented confirms the existence of a pathogenetically determined relationship between COVID-19 and cardiovascular complications. To better understand the mechanisms underlying the development of cardiovascular disorders, it is necessary to create a unified Global Registry of patients with cardiac complications after COVID-19.
