Rationale: To describe cardiopulmonary function during exercise 12 months after hospital discharge for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), assess the change from 3 to 12 months, and compare the results with matched controls without COVID-19.
Methods: In this prospective, longitudinal, multicentre cohort study, hospitalised COVID-19 patients were examined using a cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) 3 and 12 months after discharge. At 3 months, 180 performed a successful CPET, and 177 did so at 12 months (mean age 59.
Background: Cardiac function may be impaired during and early after hospitalization for COVID-19, but little is known about the progression of cardiac dysfunction and the association with postacute COVID syndrome (PACS).
Methods: In a multicenter prospective cohort study, patients who had been hospitalized with COVID-19 were enrolled and comprehensive echocardiography was performed 3 and 12 months after discharge. Twenty-four-hour electrocardiogram (ECG) was performed at 3 and 12 months in patients with arrhythmias at 3 months.
Background The extent of cardiac dysfunction post-COVID-19 varies, and there is a lack of data on arrhythmic burden. Methods and Results This was a combined multicenter prospective cohort study and cross-sectional case-control study. Cardiac function assessed by echocardiography in patients with COVID-19 3 to 4 months after hospital discharge was compared with matched controls.

Methods: Participants with COVID-19 discharged from five large Norwegian hospitals were consecutively invited to a multicentre, prospective cohort study. In total, 156 participants (mean age 56.
