Studies needed to understand the long-term cardiovascular effects of COVID-19. A multidisciplinary approach is needed to gauge the frequency and severity of cardiovascular complications. CMR indicates cardiac magnetic resonance imaging; COVID-19, coronavirus disease 2019; CPET, cardiopulmonary exercise test; CRP, C-reactive protein; DTR, digital thermal reactivity studies; ESR, erythrocyte sedimentation rate; FMD, flow-mediated dilation; hsTnT, high-sensitivity troponin T; PCT, procalcitonin; and PT/PTT, prothrombin/partial thromboplastin time.
