Hospitalized patients with COVID-19 infection are at a high risk of progressive respiratory
failure, endotracheal intubation and mortality. The pathophysiology of COVID-19 infection has
not been elucidated but cytokine storm, prothrombotic state and myocardial dysfunction have
been implicated.(1) Echocardiography is an essential bedside tool, which allows non-invasive
assessment of biventricular function in COVID-19 patients, and echocardiographic findings can
significantly influence decision making in the appropriate clinical settings.(2) We aimed at
studying the association of in-hospital mortality with right ventricular size measured by a
