Prognostic implications of biventricular strain measurement in COVID‐19 patients by speckle‐tracking echocardiography

Background Recent reports have indicated the beneficial role of strain measurement in COVID‐19 patients. Hypothesis To determine the association between right and left global longitudinal strain (RVGLS, LVGLS) and COVID‐19 patients' outcomes. Methods Hospitalized COVID‐19 patients between June and August 2020 were included. Two‐dimensional echocardiography and biventricular global longitudinal strain measurement were performed. The outcome...
