In the beginning of December 2019, an outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) was determined in Wuhan, Hubei, China. Besides its predominant respiratory system-related symptoms, cardiovascular involvement has also been described in adults with direct and indirect cardiac injury. Pre-existing cardiovascular disease and cardiac risk factors have been shown to increase the risk of cardiac complications of COVID-19 infection. However, it is also known that healthy and asymptomatic COVID-19 survivors suffer cardiac damage-related complications. Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging (CMRI) is known to be the reference non-invasive standard to present cardiac function and tissue characterization. It is recommended as an effective and efficient diagnostic imaging choice to obtain critical information for clinical diagnosis and decision-making. In this article, we sought the usefulness of CMRI in cardiovascular complications related to COVID-19.

Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) has become an extremely valuable tool in the detection of cardiac pathology because of its accuracy in assessing cardiac structure and function, and its ability to provide tissue characterization. In this chapter we discuss the role of CMR in the evaluation of athletes, in whom it can be challenging to differentiate physiological changes from underlying myocardial pathology. It is fundamental to distinguish athletes undergoing CMR because of concerning symptoms from athletes evaluated for screening purposes with little pre-test probability for disease. We will briefly highlight state-of-the-art imaging sequences and post-processing techniques that are being used to assess cardiac morphology, function, and viability in athletes. Finally, we will discuss CMR findings present in inherited and acquired cardiomyopathies and how to distinguish these from physiological changes observed in highly trained athletes.
