PREVALENCE OF CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM INVOLVEMENT IN CHILDREN WITH PNEUMONIA
Keywords:
To study the degree and frequency of cardiovascular system involvement in children with acute pneumonia.Abstract
Background. Acute pneumonia remains one of the leading causes of morbidity in childhood and is frequently accompanied by complications involving various organs and systems. In recent years, increasing attention has been paid to cardiovascular involvement in children with pneumonia, even in cases without obvious clinical manifestations of cardiac pathology. Early identification of myocardial dysfunction is important for improving treatment outcomes and preventing complications.
