COLUMBIA CARDS is a pilot study to understand how COVID-19 affects the heart. It is known that COVID-19 can affect the heart in different ways. COLUMBIA CARDS is studying why some COVID-19 survivors develop clinical conditions such as heart inflammation, fluid buildup, blood clots, and other cardiac problems during or after their COVID-19 illness, and why other ones do not. In this study, we will use cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) and transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) to better understand the impact of COVID-19 on the heart.
