Myocardial injury, as assessed by elevation of cardiac troponins (Tnc), is frequent among patients with COVID-19. Although rare autopsy cases reported COVID-19 related myocardial inflammation, the origin of Tnc elevation is unknown to date. Several cardiac causes, such as myocarditis, non-ischemic myocardial injury (NIMI), or myocardial infarction (MI) may lead to Tnc kinetic. Our work will test the hypothesis that during SARS-Cov2 infection, the elevation of cardiac biomarkers could be linked to the occurrence of myocarditis.
