Laboratory and Imaging Evaluation of Cardiac Involvement in Patients with Post-Acute COVID-19 Open
We found elevated NT-proNBP levels, low serum NO levels, and increased 18F-FDG uptake on cardiac PET in post-acute COVID syndrome. Cardiac PET could replace or be added to CMR for detecting subtle subacute/chronic myocarditis. The follow-u…
