    Respiratory failure is a major cause of mortality among hospitalized patients with COVID-19. Previous studies have shown that right ventricular (RV) dilation and reduced RV longitudinal strain are markers of poor outcome in this disease. COVID-19 can cause direct myocardial injury resulting in left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction and heart failure suggesting that assessment of LV function might also have prognostic value. Reduction of longitudinal systolic function assessed by mitral annular plane systolic excursion (MAPSE) is an early indicator of myocardial disease in various cardiac disorders. In this retrospective study, we investigated the prognostic value of MAPSE in patients admitted with respiratory failure related to COVID-19 infection.
