| Core Tip |
This study highlights right ventricular dilatation as the primary echocardiographic predictor of mortality in hospitalized coronavirus disease 2019 patients. While adherence to appropriate use criteria for transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) was exceptionally high (98%), the immediate clinical impact on management remained modest (12.7%). These findings suggest that during pandemics, TTE is a robust prognostic tool; however, its systematic use should be further refined to maximize therapeutic yield. This research provides a data-driven foundation for optimizing cardiac imaging resources and developing future artificial intelligence models for risk stratification in acute viral infections. |
