Abstract

The project is a prospective clinical study to investigate, among other things, whether cardiac ultrasound scanning and lung ultrasound examination can predict which patients are at high risk of: developing acute pulmonary failure; being admitted to an intensive care unit; or other acute deterioration when hospitalized for COVID-19. The study will also provide unique insight into how COVID-19 infection affects the heart, since all patients will also have a thorough heart examination when the infection is over. The study includes patients admitted to most of the Capital Region's hospitals with a laboratory-confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19.
