Popis: Background Coronavirus disease 2019 is a systemic entity, where cardiac involvement has been described. The echocardiogram is a diagnostic tool that describes myocardial damage with good certainty. Objectives Determine which echocardiographic parameters are predictors of mortality. Analyze if there is a difference in clinical, laboratory and echocardiographic variables in terms of patients who died versus those who survived. Investigate the cut-off point of the echocardiographic parameters that is best associated with mortality. Methods Prospective, analytical, comparative study. Patients admitted to the hospital with Coronavirus 2019 infection. Clinical, laboratory and echocardiographic variables will be assessed. The association with three-month mortality of the different variables will be determined. We used ROC-curves for the best cut-off associated with mortality. The association with three-month mortality was analized using Cox regression, unadjusted analysis of the variables was performed, as well as adjusted analysis for age and gender. Results 84 patients were included, a mortality of 29% was documented. Significant differences were found in the left atrial volumen index, the E/e', the proportion of dilatation of the right ventricle and diastolic dysfunction. Tricuspid annulus anterior systolic excursion (TAPSE), pulmonary artery acceleration time (PAA), tricuspid regurgitation velocity (TRV), pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP), left ventricular longitudinal strain (LVGLS), of the left atrium (LAGLS) and the right ventricular free wall longitudinal strain (RVFWLS). Right ventricular dilation, right ventricular shortening fraction, TAPSE, PASP, TRV, LVGLS, LAGLS, and RVFWLS were associated with mortality. Conclusion Right ventricular dilation, right ventricular shortening fraction, TAPSE, PASP, TRV, LVGLS, LAGLS, and RVFWLS are the echocardiographic parameters that were associated with three-month mortality.
