Systematic Review of Treatment Staff Services for Patients with Cardiovascular Problems with Covid-19 based on Radiological Images

Abstract

In this review study, pulmonary and cardiovascular complications caused by Covid-19 infection in the acute phase, as well as more chronic complications reported in various articles, along with their radiological manifestations, have been investigated. The emergence of the disease Covid-19 caused by infection with the new coronavirus quickly led to the declaration of a pandemic. Lung involvement has been identified as the main cause of death. Complications such as lung fibrosis, secondary bacterial or fungal infections, cardiac involvement (myocarditis and pericarditis) and vascular complications such as pulmonary embolism have been reported frequently. Different imaging methods, especially CT scan of the chest, play an important role in the early diagnosis of the disease. Although the symptoms of heart failure, in the form of heart enlargement and typical bilateral alveolar opacities and pleural effusion, are well recognized on a plain chest CT scan, myocardial injuries are best recognized on MRI. Considering the relatively high prevalence of cardiac complications secondary to Covid-19, especially when there are clinical or para clinical symptoms such as increased troponin levels, the use of special heart imaging techniques by MRI is recommended.
