ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to describe the features of right ventricular impairment and pulmonary hypertension in coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and assess their effect on mortality.DESIGN:
The authors carried out a systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies.SETTING:
The authors performed a search through PubMed, the International Clinical Trials Registry Platform, and the Cochrane Library for studies reporting right ventricular dysfunction in patients with COVID-19 and outcomes.PARTICIPANTS:
The search yielded nine studies in which the appropriate data were available.INTERVENTIONS:
Pooled odds ratios were calculated according to the random-effects model. MEASUREMENTS AND MAINRESULTS:
Overall, 1,450 patients were analyzed, and half of them were invasively ventilated. Primary outcome was mortality at the longest follow-up available. Mortality was 48.5% versus 24.7% in patients with or without right ventricular impairment (nâ¯=â¯7; ORâ¯=â¯3.10; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.72-5.58; pâ¯=â¯0.0002), 56.3% versus 30.6% in patients with or without right ventricular dilatation (nâ¯=â¯6; ORâ¯=â¯2.43; 95% CI 1.41-4.18; pâ¯=â¯0.001), and 52.9% versus 14.8% in patients with or without pulmonary hypertension (nâ¯=â¯3; ORâ¯=â¯5.75; 95% CI 2.67-12.38; p < 0.001).CONCLUSION:
Mortality in patients with COVID-19 requiring respiratory support and with a diagnosis of right ventricular dysfunction, dilatation, or pulmonary hypertension is high. Future studies should highlight the mechanisms of right ventricular derangement in COVID-19, and early detection of right ventricular impairment using ultrasound might be important to individualize therapies and improve outcomes.Palavras-chave
