TLDR
Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging revealed cardiac involvement and ongoing myocardial inflammation in patients with recent coronavirus disease 2019, which was independent of preexisting conditions, severity and overall course of the acute illness, and the time from the original diagnosis.Abstract:
Importance Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) continues to cause considerable morbidity and mortality worldwide. Case reports of hospitalized patients suggest that COVID-19 prominently affects the cardiovascular system, but the overall impact remains unknown. Objective To evaluate the presence of myocardial injury in unselected patients recently recovered from COVID-19 illness. Design, Setting, and Participants In this prospective observational cohort study, 100 patients recently recovered from COVID-19 illness were identified from the University Hospital Frankfurt COVID-19 Registry between April and June 2020. Exposure Recent recovery from severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection, as determined by reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction on swab test of the upper respiratory tract. Main Outcomes and Measures Demographic characteristics, cardiac blood markers, and cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging were obtained. Comparisons were made with age-matched and sex-matched control groups of healthy volunteers (n = 50) and risk factor–matched patients (n = 57). Results Of the 100 included patients, 53 (53%) were male, and the mean (SD) age was 49 (14) years. The median (IQR) time interval between COVID-19 diagnosis and CMR was 71 (64-92) days. Of the 100 patients recently recovered from COVID-19, 67 (67%) recovered at home, while 33 (33%) required hospitalization. At the time of CMR, high-sensitivity troponin T (hsTnT) was detectable (greater than 3 pg/mL) in 71 patients recently recovered from COVID-19 (71%) and significantly elevated (greater than 13.9 pg/mL) in 5 patients (5%). Compared with healthy controls and risk factor–matched controls, patients recently recovered from COVID-19 had lower left ventricular ejection fraction, higher left ventricle volumes, and raised native T1 and T2. A total of 78 patients recently recovered from COVID-19 (78%) had abnormal CMR findings, including raised myocardial native T1 (n = 73), raised myocardial native T2 (n = 60), myocardial late gadolinium enhancement (n = 32), or pericardial enhancement (n = 22). There was a small but significant difference between patients who recovered at home vs in the hospital for native T1 mapping (median [IQR], 1119 [1092-1150] ms vs 1141 [1121-1175] ms;P = .008) and hsTnT (4.2 [3.0-5.9] pg/dL vs 6.3 [3.4-7.9] pg/dL;P = .002) but not for native T2 mapping. None of these measures were correlated with time from COVID-19 diagnosis (native T1:r = 0.07;P = .47; native T2:r = 0.14;P = .15; hsTnT:r = −0.07;P = .50). High-sensitivity troponin T was significantly correlated with native T1 mapping (r = 0.33;P Conclusions and Relevance In this study of a cohort of German patients recently recovered from COVID-19 infection, CMR revealed cardiac involvement in 78 patients (78%) and ongoing myocardial inflammation in 60 patients (60%), independent of preexisting conditions, severity and overall course of the acute illness, and time from the original diagnosis. These findings indicate the need for ongoing investigation of the long-term cardiovascular consequences of COVID-19.read more

TL;DR: A comprehensive review of the current literature on post-acute COVID-19, its pathophysiology and its organ-specific sequelae is provided in this paper, where the authors discuss relevant considerations for the multidisciplinary care of COPD survivors and propose a framework for the identification of those at high risk for COPD and their coordinated management through dedicated COPD clinics.

Management of post-acute covid-19 in primary care.
TL;DR: The patient who has a delayed recovery from an episode of covid-19 that was managed in the community or in a standard hospital ward is referred to, which can be divided into those who may have serious sequelae and those with a non-specific clinical picture, often dominated by fatigue and breathlessness.

Long COVID or post-COVID-19 syndrome: putative pathophysiology, risk factors, and treatments.
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the literature on long COVID-19 syndrome is presented, which is driven by long-term tissue damage (e.g. lung, brain, and heart) and pathological inflammation (i.e. from viral persistence, immune dysregulation, and autoimmunity).
