All potential predictors of higher mortality were entered into univariate analyses, including sex, age, cardiac injury and inflammatory marker, LVEF, PASP, RV function echocardiographic parameters, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), and comorbidities (diabetes mellitus, hypertension, cardiovascular artery disease, malignancy and arrhythmia). To our knowledge, this is the first study to comprehensively evaluate the prognostic value of RV function using the conventional echocardiography and 2D-STE in patients with COVID-19. Most notably, the additional prognostic value of RVLS was substantial independent of LV systolic functional index, which failed to predict mortality in patients with COVID-19. Our data demonstrated that RVLS was a powerful and independent predictor of higher mortality, providing additive predictive value over other echocardiographic parameters in patients with COVID-19.	./cache/cord-351509-aau3gx6f.txt	./txt/cord-351509-aau3gx6f.txt
