Myocardial Strain for the Differentiation of Myocardial Involvement in the Post-Acute Sequelae of COVID-19—A Multiparametric Cardiac MRI Study

❤️‍🩹 Understanding cardiac involvement after COVID-19 remains crucial.
This multiparametric cardiac MRI study explores how myocardial strain can help distinguish myocardial involvement in patients with post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC), offering a promising tool for improved assessment and follow-up.

📘 Read the full article:

Myocardial involvement was shown to be associated with an unfavorable prognosis in patients with COVID-19, which could lead to fatal outcomes as in myocardial injury-induced arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. We hypothesized that magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) myocardial strain parameters are s...
