Ultrasound Findings Early in the Course of COVID-19 Infection

Ultrasound Findings Early in the Course of COVID-19 Infection

Bedside ultrasound may prove to be a sensitive early indicator of lung involvement in patients with coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) infection. This greyscale ultrasound clip was taken from a COVID-19 positive patient on Day 1 of becoming symptomatic with fevers and myalgias.

Cardiac Complications of COVID-19

Evidence is rapidly emerging that COVID-19 patients may present with a myriad of cardiac complications, including acute myocardial injury, myocarditis, and dysrhythmias (Arentz et al., Clerkin et al., Huang et al.).
