Myocardial Inflammation and Fibrosis Are Associated With Reduced Strain in Collegiate Athletes Recovering From SARS-CoV-2

Several studies show a low (1-3%) but real risk of myocarditis in competitive athletes after SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Layer-Specific Fast Strain-Encoded Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging Aids in the Identification and Discrimination of Acute Myocardial Injury: A Prospective Proof-of-Concept Study

This study investigated the use of layer-specific fast strain-encoded cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (fSENC) for diagnosing and prognosticating acute myocardial injury in emergency department patients. It found that global longitudinal strain (GLS) and GLSdifference (the difference between epicardial and endocardial GLS) were effective predictors, with GLS showing a high diagnostic
