Multimodal IMAgery (Echocardiography and Cardiac MRI) Characterization of Cardiac Damage and Severity After COVID-19 Infection

Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infection caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), which affects multiple organ system particularly the lung and heart. Indeed, SARS CoV-2 has various cardiac manifestations which are associated with higher mortality and morbidity. Cardiac involvement, based on elevated levels of myocardial enzymes, have been described in 20 to 30% of COVID-19 infection. However, the physiopathological mechanisms of myocardial injury remains unclear. Main hypothesis include inflammation and cytokine storm, hypercoagulability and vascular thrombosis, inflammation or stress leading to coronary plaque rupture (type I myocardial infarction), supply-demand mismatch and hypoxemia resulting in myocardial damage (type II myocardial infarction) ...

Two patterns can be identified : ischemic or non-ischemic pattern including myocarditis, stress induced cardiomyopathy, thrombo-embolic disease. However, the consequences of myocardial damage after confirmed COVID-19 infection are unknown at medium to long term prognosis.

Data are needed to identify myocardial damage and to guide effective therapies and follow-up (use of ACE inhibitor, beta-blockers, steroids...? ) In this study, the investigators proposed to collect multimodal cardiac imaging including MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) and TTE (Transthoracic echocardiogram) in order to identify and characterize cardiac injury as ischemic or non-ischemic pattern, to better assess risk stratification and to guide effective therapies if necessary.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
To Characterize cardiac involvement by cardiac TTE imaging during 4 months after confirmed COVID-19 infection
Time Frame: 1 to 4 months after COVID 19 infection
Cardiac TTE imaging is performed during 4 months after COVID-19 infection in patients with suspected cardiac involvement (increase troponin level>50ng/ml or left ventricular dysfunction during hospitalisation for COVID-19 infection) in order to determine tissular characterization, in particular the presence of ischemic or non-ischemic pattern.
1 to 4 months after COVID 19 infection
To Characterize cardiac involvement by cardiac MRI during 4 months after confirmed COVID-19 infection
Time Frame: 1 to 4 months after COVID 19 infection
Cardiac MRI is performed during 4 months after COVID-19 infection in patients with suspected cardiac involvement (increase troponin level>50ng/ml or left ventricular dysfunction during hospitalisation for COVID-19 infection) in order to determine tissular characterization, in particular the presence of ischemic or non-ischemic pattern.
1 to 4 months after COVID 19 infection

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
To characterize cardiac evolution at 12 +/-2 months from COVID-19 infection
Time Frame: 12 +/- 2 months
Cardiac imaging are performed 12 +/-2 months after COVID-19 infection
12 +/- 2 months
