Mid- to long-term cardiac magnetic resonance findings in elite athletes recovered from COVID-19: results from an ongoing observational COVID-19 study at a German Olympic medical centre

Our results do not allow conclusions to be drawn regarding myocardial injury in the acute phase of infection nor about possible long-term myocardial effects in the general population.PMID:38579332 | DOI:10.57187/s.3534
