Temporal changes in selected markers of systemic inflammation and myocardial damage Red lines indicate patients (cases 1–9) and blue lines indicate controls (cases 10–12). Panels A, C, and E show biochemical markers. Day 0 represents the timepoint when corticosteroids were administered, or ICU admission for the patients who did not receive steroids. Data from a previous acute COVID-19 admission were available for two cases (cases 2 and 11). Panels B and D show imaging features in patients. Echocardiography was obtained at ICU admission, CMR1 at a mean of 11 days (range 3–24) after ICU admission, and CMR2 103 days (48–155) following CMR1. For echocardiography (B), the median value is used whenever ejection fraction was reported within a range. The highest T1 (left-sided y-axis) and T2 (right-sided y-axis) values reported for each patient are plotted (D). CMR1=acute cardiac MRI. CMR2=convalescent MRI. ICU=intensive care unit. *Patients 5,8, and 9, and control 11 did not receive immunomodulatory therapy.
