Heart Damage with COVID-19 (Clinical Observations)
Abstract
In December 2019 humanity faced a new infectious disease caused by SARS-CoV-2, a strain of coronavirus. A more detailed study of the pathology showed that this pathogen affects not only the lung tissue, but also other target organs: the brain, heart, gastrointestinal tract, joints, kidneys. Myocarditis after coronavirus infection is the most discussed problem among cardiologists. Postponed COVID-19, even a mild course, is associated with a high risk of heart muscle damage in a delayed period. Conducting MRI of the heart with delayed contrast enhancement allows detecting myocarditis in patients who have undergone coronavirus infection, assessing the functional and prognostic consequences of the disease.
