Table 1.

Common pulmonary and cardiovascular ultrasound findings in COVID-19.

Lung Heart Veins
Bilateral multiple or confluent B lines. Left or right ventricle increased endocavitary dimensions Thrombosis ultrasound findings: non-compressible venous segment; loss of phasic flow on Valsalva maneuver; absent color flow; lack of flow augmentation with calf squeeze; increased flow in superficial veins
Peripheral parenchymal consolidations with distribution reflect interstitial involvement. Normal or increased wall thickness Larger diameter of common femoral vein and lower peak blood-flow velocities
Irregular pleural line with thickenings and discontinuity Global or regional ventricular systolic dysfunction
Bilateral pleural effusion Diastolic dysfunction
Left ventricle thrombus
Pericardial involvement with effusion
