Cardiac Function and Structure before and after Mild SARS-CoV-2 Infection in Elite Athletes Using Biventricular and Left Atrial Strain
In elite athletes, mild SARS-CoV-2 infection does not significantly impact LV function when compared to their pre-SARS-CoV-2 status and to healthy controls. However, subtle changes in RV and LA strain may indicate temporary or training-related adaptions. Further research is needed, particularly focusing on athletes with more severe infections or prolonged symptoms.
