Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Tissue Characterization in COVID-19 Survivors (NCT05164744)

Cardiac Magnetic Resonance for Tissue Characterization-Based Risk Stratification of Cardiopulmonary Symptoms, Effort Tolerance, and Prognosis Among COVID-19 Survivors

🟢 Recruiting Interventional Protocol 📊 Observational Clinical Research Sponsor: Weill Medical College of Cornell University

🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

The purpose of this study is to test if visualizing the heart with cardiac MRI/echo will be important in the understanding cardiac function and prediction of cardiopulmonary symptoms, physical effort tolerance, and outcomes in COVID-19 survivors. If successful, the research will allow us to identify the causes of lasting cardiopulmonary symptoms and begin developing cardiac and lung directed therapies accordingly.
