Our study shows that LA-S may be a more sensitive marker for diastolic dysfunction in severe COVID-19, which could identify patients at risk for a protracted inflammatory state. A differential immune trait in DYS patients at ICU admission, with persistent lymphopenia, enriched CM T-cells, and higher IL-6 may suggest distinct inflammatory states or migration patterns in patients that develop cardiac injury.
