Multimodal assessment of the left ventricular ejection fraction by echocardiography, cardiac computed tomography and cardiac magnetic resonance in patients after SARS-CoV2 infection

There are statistically significant differences in left ventricular ejection fraction measurements in patients with a history of SARS-CoV-2 infection using different cardiac imaging modalities. Cardiac computed tomography overestimates LVEF compared to echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. Patients with abnormal body mass, suboptimal heart rate and reduced left ventricular systolic function are subgroups with increased variability of LVEF measurements in different cardiac imaging modalities.
