Research summary
One-in-four patients with COVID-19 pneumonia develop life-threatening heart problems. The aim of the study is to evaluate whether COVID-19 infection results in heart injury. We intend to investigate which patients are at risk of heart injury as a result of COVID-19 and why only some patients suffer heart problems as a consequence of the infection.
