A wide range of cardiac effects are observed during the acute phase of COVID-19. Interestingly, troponin levels are raised in 8–28% of instances, while systolic myocardial dysfunction symptoms are not always evident. Subclinical myocardial dysfunction is more common and is commonly defined as a decrease in the left ventricle's global longitudinal strain (LV GLS). Up to 80% of individuals exhibit this alteration while they are in the hospital. LV GLS is a crucial component in risk assessment for follow-up care and a strong independent predictor of in-hospital mortality. The first results on the long-term cardiovascular effects of COVID-19 one year after hospitalization are presented in this study. One year after discharge, we found that patients with COVID-19 pneumonia had a negative trend in LV GLS and deformation metrics in the apical and certain middle segments of the LV myocardium, as compared to data collected three months after discharge. The purpose of the study is to look at the prevalence and clinical significance of long-term heart injury following COVID-19. In order to do this, we examined patient data and categorized patients a year following hospital discharge according to their LV GLS values. This method aids in comprehending the clinical ramifications of long-term cardiac injury after COVID-19.
