Echocardiography, lung ultrasound, and cardiac magnetic resonance findings in COVID-19: A systematic review

Abstract

Background: The manifestations of COVID-19 as outlined by imaging modalities such as echocardiography, lung ultrasound (LUS), and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging are not fully described. Methods: We conducted a systematic review of the current literature and included studies that described cardiovascular manifestations of COVID-19 using echocardiography, CMR, and pulmonary manifestations using LUS. We queried PubMed, EMBASE, and Web of Science for relevant articles. Original studies and case series were included. Results: This review describes the most common abnormalities encountered on echocardiography, LUS, and CMR in patients infected with COVID-19.
