Impaired Right Ventricular Longitudinal Strain Without Pulmonary Hypertension in Patients Who Have Recovered From COVID-19

11noRight ventricular (RV) dysfunction (RVD) is associated with worse outcome in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a cause of RVD in COVID-19 respiratory failure and is associated with negative prognosis. Major pulmonary embolism, alveolar and endothelial injury, and thrombotic microangiopathy are potential triggers for new-onset PH in the acute phase. Persistent RV involvement has been reported in patients recovered from COVID-19. However, the association between persistent RV impairment and new-onset PH remains unexplored. We evaluated the prevalence of PH and RVD in patients recovered from COVID-19.reservedmixedVincenzo Nuzzi , Matteo Castrichini , Valentino Collini, Erik Roman-Pognuz , Stefano Di Bella , Roberto Luzzati , Giorgio Berlot, Marco Confalonieri, Marco Merlo, Davide Stolfo , Gianfranco SinagraNuzzi, Vincenzo; Castrichini, Matteo; Collini, Valentino; ROMAN-POGNUZ, Erik; DI BELLA, Stefano; Luzzati, Roberto; Berlot, Giorgio; Confalonieri, Marco; Merlo, Marco; Stolfo, Davide; Sinagra, Gianfranc
