Myocardial performance index increases at long‐term follow‐up in patients with mild to moderate COVID‐19

“…In the literature, there are many studies with conventional echocardiographic parameters in the investigation of cardiac dysfunction in COVID‐19 patients.

In addition, the pathophysiological process is not yet clear in patient groups whose cardiac symptoms persist in the long term after infection and no pathology is detected in classical cardiac diagnostic methods.…”
