    Abstract
    It is now widely recognized that COVID-19 illness can be associated with significant intermediate and potentially longer-term physical limitations. The term “Long COVID-19” is used to define any patient with persistent symptoms after acute COVID-19 (i.e. after 4 weeks). It is postulated that cardiac injury may be linked to symptoms that persist following resolution of acute infection, as part of this syndrome. The Canadian Cardiovascular Society Rapid Response Team has generated this document to provide guidance to health care providers on the optimal management of patients with suspected cardiac complications of Long COVID-19.
