Evolution of echocardiographic abnormalities identified in previosly healthy individuals recovering from COVID-19

As the infection with the SARs-CoV-2 virus has evolved into the most significant pandemic of the last centuries, representing a huge burden for the Health Systems worldwide, over 250 million people became infected and more than 5 million died.
Since COVID-19 is a relatively recent illness, the course of CV complications is still unclear. It is speculated that most of them recover sooner or later after the acute illness, but exact date is lacking so that further studies are needed to clarify this aspect.

严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2（SARS-CoV-2）感染已演变为近几个世纪以来最重大的全球大流行病，给全球医疗卫生系统造成了沉重负担，迄今已有超过2.5亿人感染该病毒，死亡病例超500万。由于新型冠状病毒肺炎（COVID-19）属于相对新兴的传染病，其相关心血管（Cardiovascular, CV）并发症的病程仍未明确。目前推测多数患者在急性感染后可逐步康复，但相关确切病程数据仍存在缺失，因此需要开展进一步研究以阐明该问题。
