Abstract

We present a series of five cases of patients recovered from COVID-19, who requested specialized care for cardiac symptoms. Electrocardiogram, conventional echocardiography, myocardial deformation analysis, and finally cardiac magnetic resonance imaging were performed. The findings revealed a direct relationship between strain findings and late enhancement, suggesting a potential utility of myocardial strain techniques in the evaluation of post-COVID myocardial sequelae.
