Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to test if visualizing the heart with cardiac MRI/echo will be important in the understanding cardiac function and prediction of cardiopulmonary symptoms, physical effort tolerance, and outcomes in COVID-19 survivors. If successful, the research will allow us to identify the causes of lasting cardiopulmonary symptoms and begin developing cardiac and lung directed therapies accordingly.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria: * Emergency room presentation and/or hospitalization with COVID-19 infection defined in accordance with established criteria as follows: SAR-CoV2 RT-PCR+ (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction) and at least one of the following symptoms: dyspnea, cough, dysphagia, rhinorrhea, diarrhea, nausea/vomiting, myalgias, fever, syncope/presyncope. Exclusion criteria: * Contraindication to CMR (i.e. non-compatible pacemaker/defibrillator) or gadolinium (known hypersensitivity, eGFR (estimated globular filtration rate) \<30 ml/min/1.73m2). * Inability to provide informed consent (e.g. cognitive impairment). * Unrelated condition (e.g. neoplasm) with life expectancy \<12 months prohibiting follow-up. * Patients with contraindications to gadolinium (known or suspected hypersensitivity, glomerular filtration rate \< 30 ml/min/1.73m2) will undergo non-contrast MRI but will not be excluded from this study. * Patients with known or suspected pregnancy based on Weill Cornell Radiology intake surveys (reviewed by a clinical RN (registered nurse), as well as research personnel) will be excluded from the protocol.
