Cardiac structure and function 1.5 years after COVID-19: results from the EPILOC study

CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrates subtle yet consistent reductions in LV function, specifically LV GLS and diastolic function, and exercise capacity in PCS compared to CON. While these changes are within reference ranges, their potential impact on clinical outcomes warrants further investigation. These findings highlight the need for cardiac assessments and long-term follow-up in symptomatic PCS …
