The aim of the project is to identify the prevalence and characteristics of long-term cardiovascular changes in Covid-19 infection.
In the follow-up of patients with Covid-19 infection, persistence of cardiovascular symptoms is common. Studies of the acute phase of Covid-19 infection have shown a significant prevalence of acute myocardial damage (15-44%), and imaging studies have confirmed the presence of structural changes in the pericardium and myocardium several months after the acute phase.
The aim of the project is to identify the prevalence and characteristics of long-term cardiovascular changes in Covid-19 infection.
The study is a continuation of the project "Registry "CARDICoVRISK"" which collected data on cardiovascular changes during the acute phase and shortly after the acute phase. The study design is retrospective observational. The study plans to enroll 240 patients hospitalized during the acute phase of COVID-19 infection. Patients will be collected at three separate centers. Enrolled patients will undergo a baseline evaluation by history, physical examination, laboratory tests, ECG, 6-minute walking test and echocardiogram.
If alterations in left ventricular or right ventricular systolic function are found, as per the standard clinical approach, a cardiac MRI examination will be evaluated.
Identification of patients with cardiac changes is of paramount importance as they may benefit from early initiation of cardioprotective therapy and may need different follow-up strategies.
