Background Information about the cardiac manifestations of the Omicron variant of COVID‐19 is limited. We performed a systematic prospective echocardiographic evaluation of consecutive patients hospitalized with the Omicron variant of COVID‐19 infection and compared them with similarly recruited patients were propensity matched with the wild‐type variant. Methods and Results A total of 162 consecutive patients hospitalized with Omicron COVID‐19 underwent complete echocardiographic evaluation within 24 hours of admission and were compared with propensity‐matched patients with the wild‐type variant (148 pairs). Echocardiography included left ventricular (LV) systolic and diastolic, right ventricular (RV), strain, and hemodynamic assessment. Echocardiographic parameters during acute infection were compared with historic exams in 62 patients with the Omicron variant and 19 patients with the wild‐type variant who had a previous exam within 1 year. Of the patients, 85 (53%) had a normal echocardiogram. The most common cardiac pathology was RV dilatation and dysfunction (33%), followed by elevated LV filling pressure (E/e′ ≥14, 29%) and LV systolic dysfunction (ejection fraction |
