Brief Summary: Cardiovascular involvement in coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) encompasses a wide range of vascular and myocardial pathologies, including both acute and long-term sequelae. The MIIC-MI study aims to investigate mechanisms of cardiac injury in COVID-19 using multi-modality imaging and immunophenotyping to better understand the link with adverse patient outcomes.
Detailed Description: Cardiovascular involvement in coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) encompasses a wide range of vascular and myocardial pathologies, including both acute and long-term sequelae.

Cardiac Troponin elevation, a marker of acute myocardial injury, has been identified in up to 28% of hospitalized patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and is associated with an increased mortality risk. However, the predominant aetiology of myocardial injury relating to COVID-19 remains unclear. The Troponin leak could either signify direct cardiac involvement in COVID-19 or serve as a non-specific marker of a severe systemic insult.

There have been numerous reports of acute myocarditis in patients with COVID-19. Other contributory mechanisms of cardiac Troponin elevation in patients with COVID-19 that are also driven by a proinflammatory state include acute myocardial infarction due to atherosclerotic plaque rupture (type 1) or demand ischemia (type 2), endothelial and microvascular dysfunction, immune-mediated activation of coagulation and fibrinolytic systems, and stress cardiomyopathy.

Longer-term effects of COVID-19 on the cardiovascular system are also unknown. Many individuals with post-acute sequalae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (or 'long COVID') have unexplained cardiac symptoms. Patients may also present with new-onset heart failure after COVID-19, which is not attributed to another cause.

We aim to identify patterns of myocardial injury in COVID-19 using non-invasive multi-modality cardiac imaging, paired with cytokine/chemokine testing, immunophenotyping of peripheral blood cells and coagulation profiles.

A better understanding of the mechanisms underlying the excess mortality risk attributable to myocardial injury in COVID-19 is needed and may help to improve patient care.
