COVID-19 infection has been associated with numerous cardiac manifestations. Indeed, SARS-CoV-2 may impact on cardiovascular system through a direct myocardial infection or a secondary cardiac involvement due to hypoxia or metabolic supply-demand imbalance or prothrombotic inflammatory state. As a consequence of and besides acute myocardial damages, COVID-19 could also determine chronic cardiovascular consequences, with a significant impact on long-term prognosis, quality of life and functional capacity of COVID-19 survivors.
On this basis, we aim to define the clinical and prognostic effects of myocardial involvement in COVID-19 patients.

COVID-19 infection has been associated with numerous cardiac manifestations. Indeed, SARS-CoV-2 may impact on cardiovascular system through a direct myocardial infection or a secondary cardiac involvement due to hypoxia or metabolic supply-demand imbalance or prothrombotic inflammatory state. As a consequence of and besides acute myocardial damages, COVID-19 could also determine chronic cardiovascular consequences, with a significant impact on long-term prognosis, quality of life and functional capacity of COVID-19 survivors.
On this basis, we aim to define the clinical and prognostic effects of myocardial involvement in COVID-19 patients, with a 1-month and 6-month follow-up composed of clinical evaluation, electrocardiogram, trans-thoracic echocardiogram, cardiovascular magnetic resonance, chest computerized tomography scan and cardiopulmonary exercise test.
