Prior studies focused on myocardial injury had not included much, if any, insight into medical imaging data, making the results less helpful to clinicians.

"We had no issues with any of the patients and no harm to the devices," one researcher reported. The analysis included more than 500 patients. 

Cardiac MR imaging has shown potential to detect signs of myocarditis in recovered COVID-19 patients.
