Core Tip
Core Tip: Recommends biomarkers, especially troponin, in patients with Coronavirus disease-19-associated myocarditis and other myocardial damage; however, they have proven that in addition to traditional biomarkers, new cardiac bioenzymes such as prepesin, copeptin also increase and significantly worsen the prognosis. Knowing this, evaluation together with other imaging methods is also important in diagnosis.
