Conclusions and Relevance In this study, patients with COVID-19 exhibited long-term reduced stress perfusion indicating CMD, along with declined left ventricular function by global longitudinal strain and global circumferential strain. Lack of variation in stress perfusion between patients with and without cardiovascular risk factors may suggest CMD due to severe COVID-19, warranting further investigation to elucidate mechanisms and guide potential therapies.
