Clinical Significance of Right Ventricle Echocardiographic Patterns in COVID–Related ARDS

On Behalf of the Protecting the Right Ventricle Network (PRORVnet), the group at the Intensive Care Unit and Regional ECMO Referral centre, Azienda Ospedaliero-Universitaria Careggi, Florence, Italy, assessed whether right ventricle (RV) alterations and their development may have clinical significance in critically-ill Coronavirus Disease (COVID) patients, as detected by serial echocardiograms during Intensive Care Unit (ICU) course. This observational single center study included 98 consecutive patients with COVID-related acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).
