Long Term Effects of Mild Severity COVID-19 on Left Ventricular Functions

Abstract

Objective: We aimed to evaluate long term effects of COVID-19 disease on left ventricular function using speckle tracking echocardiography. Methods: In our study, 96 non-hospitalized patients who were diagnosed with COVID-19 disease in our center between 15 August 2020 and 01 September 2020 and 96 age and gender matched control subjects were included. Results:The mean follow up duration was 137 ± 7 days. White blood cell, neutrophile and lymphocyte were significantly lower and C-reactive protein (CRP) and neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) were significantly higher in the COVID-19 group. (6.6 ± 2.8 vs. 24.4 ± 21.8, p
