Several clinical hotspots in the diagnosis and treatment of myocardial injury and myocarditis in children / 中国小儿急救医学

ABSTRACT

Myocardial injury and myocarditis are the two diagnostic words frequently used by pediatricians,myocardial enzymes and cardiac troponin are also frequently detected in laboratory tests. But up to now,some pediatricians still lack a comprehensive understanding of the clinical significance of cardiac enzymes and their isoenzymes. There are still some misunderstandings about how to interpret the test results correctly. Currently,it is not uncommon for myocardial injury and myocarditis to be over-diagnosed and over-treated. In addition,new biochemical markers of myocardial injury ( cardiac troponin and highly sensitive troponin) are not well understood. This paper discussed the above clinical hot issues and introduced the relat-ed progress. It is expected that correct cognition can guide the diagnosis and treatment of myocardial injury and myocarditis in children in the future.
