Brief Summary

This is a prospective cohort study that aims to clinical significance of subclinical myocardial involvement in recovered COVID-19 patients using cardiovascular magnetic resonance.

Detailed Description

This study aims to: 1. Determine the extent of myocardial involvement of COVID-19, as assessed by Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (CMR), 2 weeks after patient recovery, at 3-month post discharge an...

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • • Recovered COVID-19 patients
  • Definition of recovered COVID-19 patient:
  • COVID-19 diagnosis = established by a positive reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 \[SARS-CoV2\] and recovered from COVID-19.
  • Recovery = based on two criteria: (1) two negative nasopharyngeal swab RT-PCR results \>24 hours apart and (2) absence of fever and improvement in respiratory symptoms.
  • Recovered non-COVID-19 patients with viral respiratory infections confirmed with viral polymerase chain reaction testing AND with a confirmed negative COVID-19 RT-PCR test.
  • Age and gender matched controls with no cardiac risk factors, not on cardiac medications, no history of myocardial infarction, heart failure or myocarditis, negative COVID-19 RT-PCR test and negative COVID-19 antibodies test.

Exclusion

  • Previous myocardial infarction or myocarditis unrelated to COVID-19 infection
  • History of heart failure unrelated to COVID-19 infection
  • Presence of pacemakers or implantable cardiac defibrillators
  • Any contraindication for CMR testing
  • Renal impairment with eGFR \<45ml/min/1.73m2
  • Limited life expectancy \<1 year, for example due to pulmonary disease, cancer or significant hepatic failure
  • Refusal or inability to sign an informed consent.
  • Potential for non-compliance towards the requirements in the trial protocol (especially the medical treatment) or follow-up visits
