Clinical value of ECG and cardiac markers detection in the diagnosis and treatment of infantile viral pneumonia

Objective To investigate the clinical value of ECG and cardiac markers detection in the diagnosis and treatment of infantile viral pneumonia. Methods A total of 90 cases of infantile viral pneumonia in our hospital from June,2015 to May,2016 were enrolled and divided into common group[n=43,male 23 cases and female 20 case,average age (2.8±1.3) years]and severe group[n=47,male 25 cases and female 22 case,average age (2.7±1.4) years]according to disease severity,while 40 health individuals[male 20 cases and female 20 case,average age (2.3±1.3) years]during the same period were selected as control group.The treatment course was 7 d in the common and severe group.The ECG and levels of cardiac markers (CK,CK-MB,CTnT) were tested and compared among the three groups before and after the treatment. Results Before the treatment,62.79% of infantile pneumonia patients appeared abnormal electrocardiogram in the common group,and 87.23% in severe group;the levels of CK,CK-MB and CTnT of the common and severe group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P<0.05),and the severe group increased more significantly than those in common group (P<0.05);After the treatment,ECG was improved in most cases,and the levels of CK,CK-MB and CTnT decreased significantly in common and severe group (P<0.05),the levels of CK,CK-MB and CTnT recovered to normal range in the common group (P>0.05),and levels of CK,CK-MB and CTnT of the severe group were significantly higher than those in the common and the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion There were abnormalities in ECG and cardiac markers in patients with infantile pneumonia.ECG and cardiac markers detection mat contribute to the diagnosis and prognosis of infantile pneumonia.
