Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates the prevalence of abnormal cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) findings in elite athletes who have recovered from COVID-19, focusing on conditions like late gadolinium enhancement (LGE).
- It analyzed data from 18 studies encompassing 4,446 athletes, finding a low overall prevalence of abnormal CMR findings, with pathological LGE at 2.0% and elevated T1 and T2 values at 1.2%.
- The research suggests that while most athletes show normal CMR results post-COVID-19, those with symptoms or initial abnormal screenings have a significantly higher prevalence of cardiovascular issues, warranting further investigation.
