Abstract
This document presents a clinical lexicon comprising data elements related to cardiovascular and noncardiovascular complications of COVID-19 (coronavirus disease-2019). The writing committee considered data elements that are pertinent to the full range of care provided to these patients and intended to be useful for all care venues, including presentations related to acute COVID-19 in the ambulatory as well as the hospital setting. 2. Data elements for COVID-19 diagnoses include confirmed, probable, and suspected acute COVID-19 case definitions. Postacute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndromecoronavirus-2) infection were also included.
