CMR Images From a Recovered Asymptomatic COVID-19 Patient With Myocardial Inflammation (A and B) High global T1- and T2-mapping values. (C) Short-axis cine. (D) Small, subepicardial, basal anterolateral wall late gadolinium enhancement (arrow). (E) Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) results. ¶ = 1 patient had borderline dilated right ventricle (RV) and dilated main pulmonary artery (37 mm), with no initial suspicion of pulmonary embolus, and a ventilation/perfusion scan post-CMR was normal. #p < 0.02 when compared to 15 healthy volunteers with a mean T1 of 1,158 25 ms (2SD range 1,190 to 1,208 ms). ##p < 0.01 when compared to 15 healthy volunteers with a mean T2 of 48.2 ± 3.4 ms (2SD range 41.5 to 54.8 ms). COVID-19 = coronavirus disease-2019; IQR = interquartile range; LV = left ventricular; V/Q = ventilation/perfusion.
