Usefulness of Right Ventricular Longitudinal Shortening Fraction to Detect Right Ventricular Dysfunction in Acute Cor Pulmonale Related to COVID-19.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To compare two-dimensional-speckle tracking echocardiographic parameters (2D-STE) and classic echocardiographic parameters of right ventricular (RV) systolic function in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-related acute respiratory distress syndrome (CARDS) complicated or not by acute cor pulmonale (ACP).

Design

Prospective, between March 1, 2020 and April 15, 2020.

Setting

Intensive care unit of Amiens University Hospital (France).

Participants

Adult patients with moderate-to-severe CARDS under mechanical ventilation for fewer than 24 hours.

Interventions

None.

Measurements and main results

Tricuspid annular displacement (TAD) parameters (TAD-septal, TAD-lateral, and RV longitudinal shortening fraction [RV-LSF]), RV global
