Myocardial injury has been found using magnetic resonance imaging in recovered coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients unselected or with ongoing cardiac symptoms.
To evaluate for the presence of myocardial involvement in recovered COVID-19 patients without cardiovascular symptoms and abnormal serologic markers during hospitalization.
Prospective.
Twenty-one recovered COVID-19 patients and 20 healthy controls (HC).
FIELD STRENGTH/SEQUENCE: 3.0 T, cine, T2-weighted imaging, T1 mapping, and T2 mapping.
Cardiac ventricular function includes end-diastolic volume, end-systolic volume, stroke volume, cardiac output, left ventricle (LV) mass, and ejection fraction (EF) of LV and right ventricle (RV), and segmental myocardial T1 and T2 values were measured.
Student's t-test, univariate general linear model test, and chi-square test were used for analyses between two groups. Ordinary one-way analyses of variance or Kruskal-Wallis H test were used for analyses between three groups, followed by post-hoc analyses.
Fifteen (71.43%) COVID-19 patients had abnormal magnetic resonance findings, including raised myocardial native T1 (5, 23.81%) and T2 values (10, 47.62%), decreased LVEF (1, 4.76%), and RVEF (2, 9.52%). The segmental myocardial T2 value of COVID-19 patients (49.20 [46.1, 54.6] msec) was significantly higher than HC (48.3 [45.2, 51.7] msec) (P < 0.001), while the myocardial native T1 value showed no significant difference between COVID-19 patients and HC. The myocardial T2 value of serious COVID-19 patients (52.5 [48.1, 57.1] msec) was significantly higher than unserious COVID-19 patients (48.8 [45.9, 53.8] msec) and HC (48.3 [45.2, 51.7]) (P < 0.001). COVID-19 patients with abnormally elevated D-dimer, C-reactive protein, or lymphopenia showed higher myocardial T2 values than without (all P < 0.05).
Cardiac involvement was observed in recovered COVID-19 patients with no preexisting cardiovascular disease, no cardiovascular symptoms, and elevated serologic markers of myocardial injury during the whole course of COVID-19.

在未经选择或伴有持续性心脏症状的康复 2019 冠状病毒病(COVID-19)患者中,磁共振成像发现心肌损伤。
评估无心血管症状和住院期间异常血清学标志物的康复 COVID-19 患者是否存在心肌受累。
前瞻性。
21 名康复 COVID-19 患者和 20 名健康对照者(HC)。
磁场强度/序列:3.0T,电影,T2 加权成像,T1 映射和 T2 映射。
心脏心室功能包括舒张末期容积、收缩末期容积、心排量、左心室(LV)质量和射血分数(EF)的 LV 和右心室(RV),以及节段性心肌 T1 和 T2 值。
采用学生 t 检验、单变量一般线性模型检验和卡方检验进行两组间分析。采用单因素方差分析或 Kruskal-Wallis H 检验对三组间进行分析,然后进行事后分析。
15 名(71.43%)COVID-19 患者的磁共振检查结果异常,包括心肌固有 T1 值升高(5 例,23.81%)和 T2 值升高(10 例,47.62%)、LVEF 降低(1 例,4.76%)和 RVEF 降低(2 例,9.52%)。COVID-19 患者的节段性心肌 T2 值(49.20[46.1,54.6]msec)明显高于 HC(48.3[45.2,51.7]msec)(P<0.001),而心肌固有 T1 值在 COVID-19 患者和 HC 之间无显著差异。严重 COVID-19 患者的心肌 T2 值(52.5[48.1,57.1]msec)明显高于非严重 COVID-19 患者(48.8[45.9,53.8]msec)和 HC(48.3[45.2,51.7]msec)(P<0.001)。D-二聚体、C 反应蛋白或淋巴细胞减少异常升高的 COVID-19 患者的心肌 T2 值高于无异常升高者(均 P<0.05)。
在整个 COVID-19 病程中,无预先存在的心血管疾病、无心血管症状和心肌损伤的血清学标志物升高的康复 COVID-19 患者中观察到心脏受累。
