It is a valuable tool to follow up on patients after a COVID-19 infection and evaluate if there is pulmonary fibrosis developing. Echocardiography, including strain imaging, is a proven tool to assess various causes of dyspnea and adds valuable information in the context of long COVID care. Including two-dimensional (2D) strain imaging, a better comprehension of myocardial damage in post-COVID syndrome can be made. Especially 2D strain imaging (left and the right ventricular strain) can provide information about prognosis.Journal of ultrasound in medicine : official journal of the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicinehttps://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC9353420biostudies-literatureEchocardiography and Lung Ultrasound in Long COVID and Post-COVID Syndrome A Review Document of the Austrian Society of Pneumology and the Austrian Society of Ultrasound in Medicine.PMC9353420Altersberger MCho YZwick RHGoliasch GHuber GGenger MSchneider MFunk GCKhafaga MWinkler RBinder TfalseEchocardiography and Lung Ultrasound in Long COVID and Post-COVID Syndrome A Review Document of the Austrian Society of Pneumology and the Austrian Society of Ultrasound in Medicine.Lung ultrasound has the potential to enable standardized follow-up without radiation exposure and with lower associated costs in comparison to CT scans.
