BEIJING (China Daily/ANN): There is no clinical evidence linking Covid-19 and Kawasaki disease, a rare illness that mostly affects children below age 5 by causing inflammation in their blood vessels and may damage the heart in serious cases, a senior cardiologist said.
Medical workers should also be mindful of Covid-19 patients with cardiovascular diseases, as data from China shows they have a relatively high chance of deteriorating into severe cases, Huo Yong, a noted cardiologist at Peking University First Hospital, said.
