Multiparametric Cardiovascular MR in Non-hospitalized COVID-19 Infection Subjects: An Intra-individual Comparison Study

Motivation: To evaluate the prevalence of cardiac involvement in mild, non-hospitalized, recovered COVID-19 patientsGoal(s): investigate the changes of cardiac structure and function by comparing multiparametrical cardiac MRApproach: This prospective study enrolled 39 unhospitalized COVID-19 patients. Results: Four patients had the same late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) pattern at baseline and repeated CMR and 5 female patients had myocardial T2 ratio >2 but with normal T2 value in post-COVID-19 CMR. All other CMR parameters were in normal ranges before and after COVID-19 infection. Impact: This knowledge has an important role in can help alleviate wide social concern on COVID-19 related myocarditis.
