Conclusion
The effect of COVID-19 on myocardial function are not well established,
nor are its effects on the outcomes after treatment of myocardial and
associated illnesses. Based on what has been discovered and hypothesized
about cardiac involvement in COVID-19, there is a need for autopsies and
rigorous gross, histological cardiac assessments, and more basic
research into the effects of COVID-19 on myocardial function and other
associated clinical conditions such as diabetes. Such analyses could
further elucidate the mechanisms that seem to be at play in
COVID-19-mediated heart dysregulation and injury. In addition, we
recommend researchers to consider how imaging methods may be used to
detect abnormalities in heart function in infected patients, as well as
further scrutiny of cardiac blood chemistry. These findings will
ultimately assist providers in detecting clinicopathological signs as
early as possible that may help predict disease severity and better
inform treatment management.
