Cardiovascular function in children and adolescents with a history of mild COVID-19 was assessed through echocardiography at rest and during exercise, with 100 participants divided into those with COVID-19 and controls.
Both groups showed no signs of myocardial injury or inflammation at rest, and their heart functions were comparable during exercise, indicated by similar strain values and peak oxygen consumption.
The study concluded that young individuals recovering from mild COVID-19 did not display significant cardiovascular impairments, suggesting they can safely resume physical activities and sports.
