ABSTRACT
Background:
Previous studies have reported ongoing cardiac inflammation as assessed by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) in a significant proportion of patients several months after recovery from SARSCoV- 2 infection, many of whom had no or minimal symptoms at the time of infection. Purpose(s) The aim of SETANTA was to investigate the prevalence of cardiac abnormalities by CMR in unselected patients in Ireland after acute SARS-CoV-2 infection and the correlation with immunological response and biomarkers of coagulation. Method(s) This was a prospective, observational, community-based study (clinicaltrials.gov identifier NCT04823182). Consecutive patients recovered from recent SARS-CoV-2 infection at 3 primary care sites were invited to participate. Key inclusion/exclusion criteria and outcomes of interest are shown in Figure 1. Result(s) 100 participants were enrolled (Feb-Sept 2021) at a median of 188 (IQR, 125, 246) days after positive SARS-CoV-2 swab. At index infection, 18% and 35% reported severe and moderate symptoms, respectively;14% were hospitalized;3% were admitted to intensive care for ventilatory support. At enrolment, 83% had ongoing symptoms. 85% had detectable SARS-CoV-2 antigens. CMR and laboratory findings are shown in Figure 1. Conclusion(s) Among an unselected cohort of patients recovered from acute SARS-CoV2 infection, we report a low prevalence of cardiac abnormalities by CMR, despite a high prevalence of moderate/severe symptoms at presentation and a high prevalence of persistent symptoms. Correlation with biomarkers of immunity and coagulation will be available at ESC 2022.
