Abstract

Myocardial injury in Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been associated with adverse outcomes; however, associations between myocardial injury and arrhythmias, such as atrial fibrillation/flutter (AF), are not well established in this population.1,2 Recent advances in two-dimensional echocardiography (2DE), including speckle-based strain, enable the quantification of left atrial (LA) strain (LAS), a measure of atrial deformation that has previously been shown to be predictive of AF and cardiovascular events in stable outpatients.
