Novel Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Findings in the Noninvasive Ischemic Assessment of Patients With Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19).

ABSTRACT

In the past several years, the coronavirus pandemic has introduced multiple medical disciplines to various new forms of disease previously unknown and has shown us a unique presentation of already existing diseases. We continue to understand the long-term effects of the pandemic on the population's health and continue to find new unique features previously unknown. This paper presents the unique feature of lung uptake abnormalities discovered on nuclear stress testing for cardiac perfusion defects, a consistent finding in multiple individuals with recent COVID-19 or ongoing infection.
