The use of integrated heart and lung multimodality imaging plays a central role in different clinical settings and is essential in diagnosis, risk stratification and management of COVID-19 patients. In this context, the use of multiple diagnostic imaging techniques may apply to both heart and lung to provide an integrated assessment of cardiac and pulmonary function and to refine diagnosis, risk stratification and management of COVID-19 patients. patients not requiring ICU, when clinical presentation and biomarker alterations suggest acute-onset myocardial inflammation, if the diagnosis is likely to impact on management, CMR may be considered to confirm acute myocarditis, after exclusion of alternative relevant clinical conditions, including ACS and HF, by means of other rapidly available imaging modalities (i.e. cardiac CT scan or TTE).	./cache/cord-334495-7y1la856.txt	./txt/cord-334495-7y1la856.txt
