- Abstract
Global health is under danger due to COVID-19's overwhelming global spread. Despite the fact that the respiratory system is the primary organ affected by SARS-CoV-2, there is mounting evidence that it can also impact the cardiovascular system. A useful tool for assessing cardiovascular disease is echocardiography. It is affordable, broadly accessible, and offers data that can affect management. Leading international societies advice using only echocardiography when a potential clinical benefit exists, favoring focused assessments, and employing smaller portable equipment due to the danger of staff infection and equipment contamination during the procedure. Several investigations over the past few several different types of echocardiographic anomalies have been described for months in COVID-19 individuals. These findings are summarized in this review, which also discusses potential contributing mechanisms.
