Longitudinal assessment of myocardial involvement in PASC-CVS: a single-center study from China based on multiparametric CMR

1

The study evaluated 110 PASC-CVS patients using multiparametric CMR to assess myocardial involvement and long-term cardiac changes.
2

PASC-CVS patients showed significant differences in CMR parameters compared to controls, indicating myocardial damage.
3

At one-year follow-up, PASC-CVS patients demonstrated clinical improvement, with a reduction in PASC scores from 14.1 to 5.4.
4

Repeat CMR in 20 patients revealed improvements in right ventricular ejection fraction and global T2, but no recovery in LGE.
5

The study highlights the utility of multiparametric CMR in monitoring myocardial involvement in PASC-CVS patients.
