The association of radiologic right heart strain indices with the severity of pulmonary parenchymal involvement and prognosis in patients with COVID-19
In COVID-19 patients without vascular comorbidities, a higher PA/AO diameter ratio was significantly associated with increased lung involvement severity on CT imaging but not with adverse in-hospital outcomes. Conversely, an increased RV/LV ratio on CTPA did not correlate significantly with adverse outcomes or the severity of parenchymal lung damage.
