Cardiac involvement in patients recovering from Delta Variant of COVID-19: a prospective multi-parametric MRI study.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

The cardiac injury and sequelae of Delta Variant of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) remain unknown. This study aimed to evaluate the presence of cardiac involvement in patients recovering from Delta Variant of COVID-19 based on multi-parametric cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Methods and results

We prospectively assessed patients recovering from Delta Variant of COVID-19 using multi-parametric cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) between June 2021 and July 2021. Comparison was made with 25 healthy controls. Forty-four patients (median age 51 years, 28 women) recovering from Delta Variant were recruited and had a median time of 35 days between diagnosis and cardiac MRI. There were no patients with chest pain (0/44, 0%) and high sensitivity cardiac tropo
