This study aims to:~Determine the extent of myocardial involvement of COVID-19, as assessed by Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (CMR), 2 weeks after patient recovery, at 3-month post discharge and at 1-year post discharge.~Correlate these myocardial characteristics to biventricular structure, function, blood biomarkers of inflammation, clinical symptoms, and functional capacity at all time points.~Follow up recovered COVID-19 patients beyond the end of this study to assess for hard outcomes such as death, heart failure hospitalization, cardiac arrest and ventricular tachycardia/ fibrillation.~Recovered COVID-19 patients and age and gender matched controls subjects will be recruited.
This is a prospective cohort study that aims to clinical significance of subclinical myocardial involvement in recovered COVID-19 patients using cardiovascular magnetic resonance.
