Right ventricle enlargement a major predictor for mortality among COVID patients, new study finds

Enlargement of one of the heart's four chambers -- the right ventricle -- was the best predictor of which patients with severe Covid-19 infections were most likely to die, doctors reported Monday.

(CNN)Enlargement of one of the heart's four chambers -- the right ventricle -- was the best predictor of which patients with severe Covid-19 infections were most likely to die, doctors reported Monday.
A team of doctors from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai looked at the health records of 105 Covid patients hospitalized at Mount Sinai Morningside in New York City between March 26th and April 22nd.
Of the 105 patients in the study, 32 of them -- or 31% -- had dilation of the right ventricle based on an echocardiogram, or ultrasound of the heart. Of these, 41% died by the end of the study period, compared to 11% of those without right ventricular enlargement.
Enlargement of the right ventricle was the only variable that was significantly associated with mortality in this group of Covid-19 patients, according to the study, which has been accepted for publication in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.

Not my ventricle! Anything but the ventricle!!!

Another study on diabetes and coronavirus in UK patients

I‘ll be honest, I’m personally getting fed up with the ‘latest research’ that proves that men who are older and carrying more weight are going to catch it. Can’t these bleeding scientists pick on someone else......

If there’s anything guaranteed to get right-wing Americans to care even less about a subject, it’s Natives on a reservation being affected by it.

BRASILIA: Brazil's health ministry recommended on Wednesday (May 20) using chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine to treat even mild cases of COVID-19, a treatment President Jair Bolsonaro has pushed for despite a lack of conclusive evidence of their effectiveness. New federal guidelines released by the ministry recommend doctors prescribe the anti-malarial drugs from the onset of symptoms of coronavirus infection, together with the antibiotic azithromycin.

Patients will be required to sign a waiver acknowledging they have been informed of potential side effects, including heart and liver problems and retina damage. The two medications have been swept up in a politically charged debate amid the pandemic. Bolsonaro and his US counterpart Donald Trump, to whom he is often compared, tout them as potential wonder drugs against COVID-19.
