Society for Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance 2021 cases of SCMR and COVID-19 case collection series

Abstract

The Society for Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (SCMR) is an international society focused on the research, education, and clinical application of cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR). “Cases of SCMR” is a case series hosted on the SCMR website (https://www.scmr.org) that demonstrates the utility and importance of CMR in the clinical diagnosis and management of cardiovascular disease. The COVID-19 Case Collection highlights the impact of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) on the heart as demonstrated on CMR. Each case in series consists of the clinical presentation and the role of CMR in diagnosis and guiding clinical management. The cases are all instructive and helpful in the approach to patient management. We present a digital archive of the 2021 Cases of SCMR and the 2020 and 2021 COVID-19 Case Collection series of nine cases as a means of further enhancing the education of those interested in CMR and as a means of more readily identifying these cases using a PubMed or similar literature search engine.

Progress in Biosensors for the Point-of-Care Diagnosis of COVID-19

“…An increase in inflammatory cytokines and the appearance of symptoms after inflammation is also typical for COVID-19 [ 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 ]. The exact diagnosis can be based on various techniques and instruments, including the techniques locating damaged tissues such as tomography and sonography [ 29 , 30 , 31 ] and molecular biology methods such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) in their reverse transcriptase [ 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 ]. Immunochemical methods such as enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the detection of specific antibodies or the presence of the COVID antigen can also be used [ 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 ].…”
