Prognostic implications of biventricular strain measurement in COVID-19 patients by speckle-tracking echocardiography.

Background: Recent reports have indicated the beneficial role of strain measurement in COVID-19 patients.

Hypothesis: To determine the association between right and left global longitudinal strain (RVGLS, LVGLS) and COVID-19 patients' outcomes.

Methods: Hospitalized COVID-19 patients between June and August 2020 were included.
