Why the study?
The study was conducted to describe cardiac function by echocardiography in high-risk COVID-19 ICU patients and determine the influence of hypertension and diabetes on left ventricular dysfunction.
Does the presence of clinical risk factors (hypertension, diabetes, abnormal renal function) correlate with abnormal echocardiographic findings in high-risk COVID-19 patients admitted to the ICU?
Does the presence of clinical risk factors (hypertension, diabetes, abnormal renal function) correlate with abnormal echocardiographic findings in high-risk COVID-19 patients admitted to the ICU?
In high-risk COVID-19 patients admitted to the ICU, ventricular dysfunction on echocardiography is highly prevalent and strongly associated with underlying hypertension, diabetes, and abnormal renal function.
Abnormal echocardiography signals higher comorbidity burden in COVID-19 ICU patients; hypothesis-generating for prognostic models.
To describe cardiac function with echocardiography in COVID-19 patients of high-risk and to determine the influence of hypertension and diabetes in the presence of left ventricular dysfunction. To compare our poblation and results with others internationals reports.
