Abstract
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS- CoV-2), previously named "2019 novel coronavirus" (2019-nCoV) is an emerging disease and a major public health issue. At the moment, little is known, except that its spread is on a steady upward trend. That is the reason why it was declared pandemic since March 11th, 2020. Respiratory symptoms dominate the clinical manifestations of the virus, but in a few patients also other organs are involved, such as their heart. This review article provides an overview of the existing literature regarding imaging of heart injury during COVID-19 acute infection and follow-up.
Keywords: CMR; COVID-19; Heart injury; Imaging; Myocarditis.
