Improving risk prediction for pulmonary embolism in COVID‐19 patients using echocardiography

Abstract SARS‐CoV‐2 infection is associated with increased risk for pulmonary embolism (PE), a fatal complication that can cause right ventricular (RV) dysfunction. Serum D‐dimer levels are a sensitive test to suggest PE, however lacks specificity in COVID‐19 patients. The goal of this study was to...
