This article, published in the Qatar Medical Journal, discusses the incidence of right ventricular (RV) strain in pulmonary embolism (PE) in patients with Covid-19 pneumonia. The study analyzed 63 cases of PE in Covid-19 patients and found an RV strain incidence of 22.2% and a mortality rate of 25.4%. However, there was no significant association between RV strain and clot burden or mortality. The authors suggest that further research with a larger sample size is needed to fully understand the relationship between RV strain and PE in Covid-19 pneumonia. [Extracted from the article]
