Excerpt

We read with great interest the single-centre study conducted by Jansson et al. [1] in 74 ICU patients with COVID-19, that detailed the evolution of acute myocardial injury [AMI; defined by high sensitivity troponin (HS-Tn) rise] across the first 2 weeks of ICU stay and its association with left and right ventricular dysfunction (RVD), diagnosed from a transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) performed within 72 h of ICU admission. …
