Increased RV:LV ratio on chest CT-angiogram in COVID-19 is a marker of adverse outcomes

Abstract Background Right ventricular (RV) dilation has been used to predict adverse outcomes in acute pulmonary conditions. It has been used to categorize the severity of novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) infection. Our study aimed to use chest CT-angiogram (CTA) to assess if increased RV dila...
