description PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The present review will outline the main effects of COVID-19 pandemic on cardiovascular pathologies, focusing on the role of modern non-invasive cardiac imaging techniques in this setting. RECENT FINDINGS: Multimodality cardiac imaging seems particularly suited for the in-depth characterization of patients with COVID-19, allowing the assessment of the variegated impact of the disease on the different aspects of myocardial perfusion, structure, and function. SUMMARY: The infection of SARS-CoV-2, leading to the coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19), has represented a consistent challenge for the organization of the healthcare systems, associating to a significant increase of the fatality rate of different acute and chronic disease. Moreover, the reallocation of healthcare providers led to a significant reduction of the availability of tests and therapies, with the deferral of non-urgent tests and non-lifesaving procedures.
