In this episode of EACVI Cardio Talk On-the-Go, Sarah Birkhoelzer and Vass Vassiliou speak about the ESC consensus statement on cardiovascular disease prevention and management in the COVID-19 era. The discussion focuses on COVID-19 as a long-term cardiovascular risk, with complications such as myocarditis, heart failure, arrhythmias, thrombosis, autonomic dysfunction, and cardiac Long COVID.

The episode emphasises the pivotal role of cardiovascular imaging in post-COVID care, including echocardiography, cardiac magnetic resonance, and cardiopulmonary exercise testing for diagnosis, risk stratification, rehabilitation planning, and return-to-exercise decisions.

Key themes include the importance of prevention strategies, vaccination, and guideline-directed therapy, alongside practical considerations for imaging specialists and clinicians managing persistent symptoms after infection.
