Novel coronavirus infection has become one of urgent health problems of the 21st century. The associated disorders often result in the development of cardiopulmonary pathology, which requires creation of a new paradigm in diagnosis and treatment. Studies performed during the pandemic have demonstrated an important role of echocardiography (EchoCG) in diagnosis of right ventricular (RV) dysfunction in patients with respiratory insufficiency in COVID-19.

Therefore, the development of new diagnostic and treatment methods for comorbid disorders in COVID-19 patients is one of the main public health challenges. The aim of the study was to analyze patient survival and to develop a predictive model of survival in adults with COVID-19 infection based on transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) parameters.

Aim To evaluate the prognostic significance of the left ventricular global function index (LV GFI) in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) using echocardiography (EchoCG).Material and methods The LV GFI is an index that integrates LV cavity volumes, stroke volume, and myocardial volume. This study included 2169 patients with ACS (1340 (61.
