It has been observed that almost one third of the hospitalized non-critically ill COVID-19 infected patients can exhibit pulmonary hypertension (PH) and/or right ventricular (RV) dysfunction, and that patients who necessitate cardiorespiratory therapy in an ICU can develop isolated RV failure (RVF), more often associated with increased pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) related to high-pressure mechanical ventilation or derived from pulmonary embolism and/or small pulmonary vessel in situ thrombosis [2] .	./cache/cord-285370-qv64xzjh.txt	./txt/cord-285370-qv64xzjh.txt
