Role of Cardiac Imaging in Patients Presenting With New LVD Without Hemodynamic Instability

Acute coronary syndrome should be considered in patients presenting with typical clinical and ECG features and, if present, should be referred to emergent coronary angiography and reperfusion therapy. Distinguishing between acute and chronic LVD in COVID-19 in patients without ACS can be difficult as multiple features overlap. Echocardiography, coronary CTA, CMR, and ischemia testing can be considered depending on initial clinical findings. CMR = cardiac magnetic resonance imaging; LAE = left atrial enlargement; LHC = left heart catheterization; LVD = left ventricular dysfunction; other abbreviations as in Figures 1, 2, and 3.
