The present paper describes the experience at the Leipzig University Hospital in detecting myocardial involvement in SARS-CoV-2-infected patients by echocardiography using a specialized extended imaging and analysis protocol to analyze different components of myocardial deformation [19] . In contrast to conventional echocardiography, deformation imaging (n = 14) revealed several interesting findings potentially documenting myocardial involvement in SARS-CoV-2-infected patients with mild/moderate and severe symptoms ( Table 2 ; Figs. The finding of a "reverse basal tako-tsubo-like syndrome" of basal LV segments might also be explained by the edema, which leads to abnormal basal rRS curves without any alterations Fig. 2 Rotational deformation pattern of the same SARS-CoV-2-infected patient with COVID-19 pulmonary disease as in Fig. 1 : normal radial strain patterns are documented in apical (a) and basal (b) left-ventricular (LV) segments.	./cache/cord-326883-j7pbe50g.txt	./txt/cord-326883-j7pbe50g.txt
