Short Description: There is limited understanding of changes with myocardial metabolism in patients who have recovered from acute COVID-19. In this paper, we examine myocardial metabolic changes early after recovery from COVID-19 using fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography (PET) and associate these changes to abnormalities in cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based function and tissue characterization measures and inflammatory blood markers.
Interest: Cardiac Imaging, COVID-19, Medical Imaging, Myocardial Injury, Respiratory Disease
