ABSTRACT
Background The novel SARS-CoV-2 virus inflicts far-reaching health decrements, both directly and through secondary inflammatory stimulation. To date, there is little information regarding the effects of COVID-19 on the heart after infection, especially among young healthy adults. Purpose We sought to determine whether contracting SARS-CoV-2 affects cardiac function in young, otherwise healthy adults and whether these alterations recede after testing positive for SARS-CoV-2. Methods Transthoracic echocardiography was performed on 7 subjects with SARS-CoV-2 (3F/4M, 21±1y, 24±2 kg m ) who tested positive 3-4 weeks prior to baseline testing followed by 1- month and 2-month follow-up testing. A parasternal long-axis view was utilized to measure septal and left ventricular posterior wall thickness, left ventricular volume, and left ventricular outflow tract dimensions. A four-chamber view was utilized to measure mitral and tricuspid valve, left ventricular, and pulmonary vein function. Data are mean±SD. Results Stroke volume (Baseline 44±11ml, 1-month 42±13ml, 2-month 54±12ml) and stroke index (Baseline 24±6ml/m
