The subject of the study is the impact of COVID-19 on the indicators of myocardial efficiency and exercise capacity. As a result of the observed dependencies, it will be possible to start an appropriate diagnostic procedure early, select personalized treatment and develop a model of cardiological care for people with a history of SARS-CoV-2 infection and improve the quality and extend their life.
About 100 adult patients hospitalized in the Department of Cardiology and Congenital Heart Diseases of Adults who had recovered from COVID-19 will be included in the study. Selected prognostic factors will be analyzed, among others: demographic data of the patient, physical examination, symptoms, co-morbidities, results of selected laboratory tests, lung imaging (X-ray or computed tomography) selected electrocardiographic and echocardiographic data, patient's cooperation with the doctor, treatment applied, parameters in the spiroergometric study, body mass analysis. One year after inclusion in the study, a control hospitalization will be performed. The same factors will be analyzed.

Prognosis in patients who have recovered from COVID-19
A control hospitalization will be conducted with patients. The same prognostic factors will be analyzed: physical examination, symptoms, co-morbidities, treatment applied, results of selected laboratory tests, lung imaging (X-ray or computed tomography) selected electrocardiographic (ECG) and echocardiographic data, parameters in the spiroergometric study, body mass analysis.
Time frame: 12 months after inclusion in the study
Review of selected laboratory tests in patients who have recovered from COVID-19
Diagnostic blood samples will be collected from each patient: N-terminal pro b-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and high sensitive cardiac Troponin T (hsTnT), the alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate transaminase (ASP), creatinine, glomerular filtration rate (GFR) estimate by Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) parameters, inflammatory cytokine \[C-reactive protein (CRP)\], glucose level, lipoprotein profile: low density lipoprotein (LDL), high density lipoprotein (HDL), triglycerides (TG) and total cholesterol (TC). Also, the amount of hemoglobin will be performed.
Time frame: 12 months after inclusion in the study

Chest X-ray or lung computed tomography will be performed.
Time frame: 12 months after inclusion in the study
Review of selected Holter ECG monitoring data in patients who have recovered from COVID-19
Analysis of average heart rate, ST segment abnormality (elevation or depression), the presence of: atrioventricular delay (AV block), bundle branch block, supraventricular and ventricular extrasystoles, atrial fibrillation (AF).

Review of parameters in the spiroergometric study in patients who have recovered from COVID-19
Forced vital capacity (FVC),forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), FEV1/FVC ratio, VO2max (represents the maximal achievable level of oxidative metabolism involving large muscle groups), ventilatory exchange (VE), oxygen uptake (VO2), CO2 expenditure (VCO2), respiratory exchange ratio (RER), anaerobic threshold (AT), oxygen uptake at anaerobic threshold (VO2 AT), the minute ventilation/carbon dioxide production slope (VE/VCO2 slope) will be performed.
Time frame: 12 months after inclusion in the study
Body mass analysis in patients who have recovered from COVID-19
Body composition measurement will be conducted using bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA). Fat mass (FM) and fat-free mass (FFM), total body water (TBW), extra-cellular (ECW) and intra-cellular (ICW) water, ECW/TBWx100% will be measured.
