Stress Echocardiography in Patients Recovery From Mild COVID-19 Illness

Conditions
Echocardiography, Stress
COVID-19
Hypertension, Pulmonary
Registration Number
NCT04498299
Lead Sponsor
Miguel Ayala León
Brief Summary

With the appearance of the new SARS-COV2 virus, additional challenges are being imposed on the medical community after the resolution of acute COVID-19 illness, resulting in specific pathophysiologic mechanisms that while acutely damage the lung parenchyma might chronically impact the cardiopulmonary system.

This study aims to investigate changes after mild COVID-19 illness in echocardiographic indices at rest and stress.
