Abstract
Clinical examples for variants of cardiovascular complications of a new coronavirus infection (COVID-19) are presented when they are visualized by means of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the heart and chest organs with paramagnetic contrast enhancement and synchronization with ECG and respiration signal. The syndromes of post-COVID focal infarct injury and diffuse inflammatory lesion are identified. The picture of MRI visualization of coronary atherosclerotic plaque is presented. The results of quantitative processing of cardiac MRI in these two different syndromes of post-COVID cardiological complications are presented. The presented clinical examples indicate the need for cardiac MRI to monitor patients and assess the long-term cardiovascular effects of COVID-19.
