(2) Dr. Modesto-Alapont and colleagues claim that the Berlin definition enhances the ability to make a precise diagnosis of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in patients with coronavirus disease (COVID-19). Cardiac involvement probably complicates severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in patients, but the true incidence (considering specific echocardiographic findings) and the attributable mortality are aspects not yet well clarified. Very few reports have used echocardiographic criteria beyond biomarkers to diagnose cardiac injury, but none have differentiated between myocarditis, cardiomyopathy (stress or septic), ACS, and acute heart failure in the era of COVID-19. In a recent report involving 416 hospitalized patients from Wuhan, 19.7% presented with "acute myocardial injury." The diagnosis relied on increased cardiac biomarker (hypersensitive troponin I) levels, regardless of the electrocardiographic and echocardiographic findings (3).	./cache/cord-011875-ga0dzj3v.txt	./txt/cord-011875-ga0dzj3v.txt
