Abstract

Background and Aims : COVID-19 survivors commonly show cardiac complications, manifesting as elevated troponin or cardiac dysfunction on trans-thoracic echocardiography (TTE). Both have been associated with an impaired prognosis. Possibly, subclinical atherosclerosis could play a major role. The coronary plaque burden can be determined by assessment of coronary artery calcium (CAC). The aim of this study is to determine the relation between coronary calcium and cardiac manifestation in COVID-19 survivors.
