Key result
Cardiovascular magnetic resonance provides virtual tissue characterization to supplement troponin evaluation of myocardial injury following COVID-19 infection.
Why the study?
Troponin elevation is common in hospitalized COVID-19 patients, but understanding how biochemistry and cardiac imaging intersect to describe myocardial evolution following infection needs to be clarified.
Cardiovascular magnetic resonance provides valuable virtual tissue characterization to understand the pathological processes underlying troponin elevation in hospitalized COVID-19 patients.

May clarify troponin elevation mechanisms in COVID-19; leaves open clinical utility and need for prospective trials.
Troponin elevation in myocardial injury are a common findings in hospitalised COVID-19 patient. Biochemistry detection of the changes are due to underlying various pathological process. The subclassification of the process require supplemental investigation particularly with cardiovascular magnetic resonance. Late gadolinium enhancement and parametric mapping offer excellent virtual tissue characterization of the pathological process following myocardial insult with excellent histological correlation. The understanding of where the biochemistry and cardiac imaging cross in describing myocardial evolution following COVID-19 infection need to be understood and describe well.
