Abstract

V originále

lt; 0.001), while no right ventricle dysfunction was detected. There was very mild progress in left ventricle diastolic diameter [median (IQR) change 1.0 (−1.0; 4.0) mm; p = 0.001] between V1 and V3, mild enlargement of the left atrium (mean change 1.2 ± 4.17 mm; p = 0.021) and a non-significant trend to impairment of left ventricle diastolic dysfunction. There was a mild change in pulmonary artery systolic pressure [median (IQR) change 3.0 (−2.0; 8.0) mmHg; p = 0.038]. Conclusion: Despite a lot of information regarding cardiac impairment due to SARS-CoV2, our study does not suggest an increased risk for developing clinically significant heart changes during the 1-year follow-up. Based on our results, routine echocardiography and biomarkers collection is currently not recommended after COVID-19 recovery.
