Correlation of acute myocardial injury and long-term cardiac function in COVID-19 survivors with acute myocarditis
The increase in hs-cTnI levels in COVID-19 myocarditis patients is associated with future impairment in left ventricular systolic function and deterioration of left ventricular myocardial strain. These findings highlight the importance of monitoring cardiac function in patients with acute myocarditis following COVID-19 infection during long-term follow-up.
