ABSTRACT
Cardiological problems in children are a common reason for consultations on duty. Cur-rently, due to the pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2 virus, it is necessary to limit unnec-essary contacts and any consultations should be justified. On the other hand, there are cardiological conditions that may be dangerous to the child's health, because among the trivial reasons for consultations, there may be significant irregularities that require detailed diagnostics and treatment. For this reason, a family doctor or a paediatrician should make a thorough initial assessment taking into account whether a cardiological consultation is necessary. If so, does it have to be performed urgently, or can it be a planned examination.Copyright © 2021, Wydawnictwo Czelej Sp. z o.o.. All rights reserved.
