IMACovid: Multimodal IMAgery Characterization of Cardiac Damage and Severity After COVID-19 Infection
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infection caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), which affects multiple organ system particularly the lung and heart. Indeed, SARS CoV-2 has various cardiac manifestations which are associated with higher mortality and morbidity. Cardiac involvement, based on elevated levels of myocardial enzymes, have been described in 20 to 30% of COVID-19 infection. However, the physiopathological mechanisms of myocardial injury remains unclear. Main hypothesis include inflammation and cytokine storm, hypercoagulability and vascular thrombosis, inflammation or stress leading to coronary plaque rupture (type I myocardial infarction), supply-demand mismatch and hypoxemia resulting in myocardial damage (type II myocardial infarction) ...
Two patterns can be identified : ischemic or non-ischemic pattern including myocarditis, stress induced cardiomyopathy, thrombo-embolic disease. However, the consequences of myocardial damage after confirmed COVID-19 infection are unknown at medium to long term prognosis.
Data are needed to identify myocardial damage and to guide effective therapies and follow-up (use of ACE inhibitor, beta-blockers, steroids...? ) In this study, the investigators proposed to collect multimodal cardiac imaging including MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) and TTE (Transthoracic echocardiogram) in order to identify and characterize cardiac injury as ischemic or non-ischemic pattern, to better assess risk stratification and to guide effective therapies if necessary.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- To Characterize cardiac involvement by cardiac TTE imaging during 4 months after confirmed COVID-19 infection [1 to 4 months after COVID 19 infection]
Cardiac TTE imaging is performed during 4 months after COVID-19 infection in patients with suspected cardiac involvement (increase troponin level>50ng/ml or left ventricular dysfunction during hospitalisation for COVID-19 infection) in order to determine tissular characterization, in particular the presence of ischemic or non-ischemic pattern.
- To Characterize cardiac involvement by cardiac MRI during 4 months after confirmed COVID-19 infection [1 to 4 months after COVID 19 infection]
Cardiac MRI is performed during 4 months after COVID-19 infection in patients with suspected cardiac involvement (increase troponin level>50ng/ml or left ventricular dysfunction during hospitalisation for COVID-19 infection) in order to determine tissular characterization, in particular the presence of ischemic or non-ischemic pattern.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- To characterize cardiac evolution at 12 +/-2 months from COVID-19 infection [12 +/- 2 months]
Cardiac imaging are performed 12 +/-2 months after COVID-19 infection
- To evaluate Cardiac events at 12 +/-2 months from COVID-19 infection [12+/-2 months]
Follow-up at 12+/-2 months from COVID-19 infection : - medical consultation to collect cardiac events (heart failure, arrythmias, chest pain).
- To evaluate all cause deaths at 12 +/-2 months from COVID-19 infection [12+/-2 months]
Follow-up at 12+/-2 months from COVID-19 infection : - status (dead or alive)
