New onset severe right ventricular failure associated with COVID-19 in a young infant without previous heart disease. Cardiol Young. 2020 Sep;30(9):1346-1349.1047-9511http://hdl.handle.net/10668/3261We present our recent experience with a 6-month-old infant with a personal history of short bowel syndrome that presented with fever, cyanosis, and cardiogenic shock secondary to severe pulmonary hypertension and right ventricular failure without pulmonary thromboembolism. He did not present signs of toxin-mediated disease or Kawasaki disease. He was finally diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2 infection. If this presentation is confirmed in future research, the severe cardiovascular impairment in children with COVID-19 could be also attributable to the primary pulmonary infection, not only to a multisystem inflammatory syndrome but also in children without heart disease.4 p.enCOVID-19SARS-CoV-2Pulmonary hypertensionHeart failureCardiogenic shockPaediatric multisystem inflammatory syndromeHipertensión pulmonarInsuficiencia cardíacaChoque cardiogénicoCoronavirusMedical Subject Headings::Diseases::Virus Diseases::RNA Virus Infections::Nidovirales Infections::Coronaviridae Infections::Coronavirus InfectionsMedical Subject Headings::Diseases::Respiratory Tract Diseases::Lung Diseases::Hypertension, PulmonaryMedical Subject Headings::Diseases::Cardiovascular Diseases::Heart Diseases::Heart FailureMedical Subject Headings::Diseases::Cardiovascular Diseases::Heart Diseases::Myocardial Ischemia::Myocardial Infarction::Shock, CardiogenicMedical Subject Headings::Analytical, Diagnostic and Therapeutic Techniques and Equipment::Diagnosis::Diagnostic Techniques and Procedures::Diagnostic Imaging::Tomography::Tomography, X-Ray::Tomography, X-Ray ComputedMedical Subject Headings::Analytical, Diagnostic and Therapeutic Techniques and Equipment::Therapeutics::Patient Care::Critical CareMedical Subject Headings::Analytical, Diagnostic and Therapeutic Techniques and Equipment::Diagnosis::Diagnostic Techniques and Procedures::Diagnostic Imaging::Cardiac Imaging Techniques::EchocardiographyMedical Subject Headings::Analytical, Diagnostic and Therapeutic Techniques and Equipment::Diagnosis::Diagnostic Techniques and Procedures::Electrodiagnosis::ElectrocardiographyMedical Subject Headings::Organisms::Eukaryota::Animals::Chordata::Vertebrates::Mammals::Primates::Haplorhini::Catarrhini::Hominidae::HumansMedical Subject Headings::Analytical, Diagnostic and Therapeutic Techniques and Equipment::Diagnosis::Diagnostic Techniques and Procedures::Diagnostic Imaging::Radiography::Radiography, ThoracicMedical Subject Headings::Analytical, Diagnostic and Therapeutic Techniques and Equipment::Therapeutics::Respiratory Therapy::Respiration, ArtificialMedical Subject Headings::Analytical, Diagnostic and Therapeutic Techniques and Equipment::Investigative Techniques::Epidemiologic Methods::Data Collection::Health Surveys::Health Status Indicators::Patient Acuity::Severity of Illness IndexMedical Subject Headings::Diseases::Cardiovascular Diseases::Heart Diseases::Myocardial Ischemia::Myocardial Infarction::Shock, CardiogenicMedical Subject Headings::Diseases::Pathological Conditions, Signs and Symptoms::Pathologic Processes::Shock::Systemic Inflammatory Response SyndromeMedical Subject Headings::Analytical, Diagnostic and Therapeutic Techniques and Equipment::Diagnosis::Prognosis::Treatment OutcomeMedical Subject Headings::Check Tags::MaleMedical Subject Headings::Persons::Persons::Age Groups::Infantresearch article32600496open access10.1017/S10479511200018571467-1107PMC7324758
