Essential elements of COVID-19 echocardiographic examination

Valves	•Tricuspid insufficiency, including velocity to provide estimate of right ventricular and pulmonary pressures •Mitral insufficiency
Pericardium	•Pericardial effusion
Right ventricle	•Function
Left ventricle	•Global and regional function •Global longitudinal strain imaging •Doppler tissue imaging for diastolic function (optional) •Thrombus if severely depressed function
Coronary arteries	•Follow KD protocol to assess for dilation, aneurysm, thrombus
Pulmonary arteries	•If concern for pulmonary embolism
