Long-Term Coronary Microvascular and Cardiac Dysfunction After Severe COVID-19 Hospitalization.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

COVID-19 can lead to long-term cardiopulmonary symptoms and is associated with coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD). However, long-term data on CMD after severe COVID-19 are lacking.

Objective

To investigate long-term left ventricular function and the presence of CMD after severe COVID-19.

Design, setting, and participants

This case-control study was conducted among patients at a single center from the prospective Follow-Up of Patients With Severe COVID-19 (UppCov) study, with follow-up multiparametric perfusion cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) at 10 months after discharge from November 2020 to February 2021. Patients previously hospitalized due to severe COVID-19 (ventilatory support, oxygen flow ≥5 L/min, or both) with or without cardiac involv
