Background: Acute pulmonary embolism (PE) may provoke sudden right ventricle overload and stretching of their thin walls, causing significant raise of BNP blood levels, which correlates to acute PE severity. The properties of RV are different between sexes.
Background: Critically ill COVID-19 patients are usually subjected to clinical, laboratory, and radiological diagnostic procedures resulting in numerous findings. Utilizing these findings as indicators for disease progression or outcome prediction is particularly intriguing.
Objectives: Exploring the significance of dynamic changes in haematological and biochemical parameters in predicting the mortality of critically ill COVID-19 patients.
