AB - In the beginning of December 2019, an outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by severe
acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) was determined in Wuhan, Hubei, China. Besides
its predominant respiratory system-related symptoms, cardiovascular involvement has also been described
in adults with direct and indirect cardiac injury. Pre-existing cardiovascular disease and cardiac risk factors
have been shown to increase the risk of cardiac complications of COVID-19 infection. However, it is also
known that healthy and asymptomatic COVID-19 survivors suffer cardiac damage-related complications.
Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging (CMRI) is known to be the reference non-invasive standard to present
cardiac function and tissue characterization. It is recommended as an effective and efficient diagnostic
imaging choice to obtain critical information for clinical diagnosis and decision-making. In this article, we
sought the usefulness of CMRI in cardiovascular complications related to COVID-19.
