May prompt evaluation for right ventricular thrombus in COVID-19 shock; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation.
Takahashi et al. (2022) conducted a case report in COVID-19 with right ventricular thrombus (n=1). Tissue plasminogen activator was evaluated. A 79-year-old man with COVID-19 developed a right ventricular thrombus and obstructive shock, highlighting the need to consider cardiogenic components in COVID-19 patients with worsening shock.
