Aortic valve calcification in echocardiography is a prognostic factor for short-term adverse outcomes in elderly patients with severe COVID-19: a retrospective cohort study
AVC in echocardiography is a strong independent predictor of adverse short-term outcomes in elderly patients with severe COVID-19. Routine echocardiographic screening for AVC in high-risk elderly populations may facilitate early identification of patients requiring intensified therapies and hemodynamic monitoring.
