In this paper, the authors provide a framework for the use of Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging (CMRI) in diagnosis and management of COVID-19 patients from the perspective of a cardiologist.Abstract:
There is a growing evidence of cardiovascular complications in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients. As evidence accumulated of COVID-19 mediated inflammatory effects on the myocardium, substantial attention has been directed towards cardiovascular imaging modalities that facilitate this diagnosis. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMRI) is the gold standard for the detection of structural and functional myocardial alterations and its role in identifying patients with COVID-19 mediated cardiac injury is growing. Despite its utility in the diagnosis of myocardial injury in this population, CMRI's impact on patient management is still evolving. This review provides a framework for the use of CMRI in diagnosis and management of COVID-19 patients from the perspective of a cardiologist. We review the role of CMRI in the management of both the acutely and remotely COVID-19 infected patient. We discuss patient selection for this imaging modality; T1, T2, and late gadolinium enhancement imaging techniques; and previously described CMRI findings in other cardiomyopathies with potential implications in COVID-19 recovered patients.read more

TL;DR: The association between cardiac injury and mortality in patients with COVID-19 was analyzed and it was found that patients with cardiac injury had a higher proportion of multiple mottling and ground-glass opacity in radiographic findings than those without cardiac injury.

TL;DR: Reversible myocardial dysfunction can be identified by contrast-enhanced MRI before coronary revascularization and is strongly related to the degree of improvement in the global mean wall-motion score and the ejection fraction after Revascularization.

TL;DR: Coronavirus disease 2019 is associated with a high inflammatory burden that can induce vascular inflammation, myocarditis, and cardiac arrhythmias and should be judiciously controlled per evidence-based guidelines.
