Performance of contrast echocardiography in confirmed Covid-19 patients - Registry

With the Covid-19 outbreak, echocardiography being a bedside technique, is likely to be used often for the detection of cardiac dysfunction (global/regional) and identification of LV thrombus as Covid-19 has been shown to increase thrombogenicity. Hence, echo contrast agents are likely to be used. However, no data exist regarding its usefulness and safety in Covid-19 patients.

This registry in the form of a short survey is to establish its utility and safety in Covid-19 patients.

The survey ends on 31 August.

Before we begin, may we just remind you of our Code of Conduct for ESC surveys?
• Your participation is anonymous.
• You have the right to end your participation in this survey at any time.
• We comply with the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) 2016/679. The data will only be used by the ESC, for the purpose of market research and not for promotion, and will be kept for a maximum of 24 months. If you have any questions about data protection or require further information, please contact our data protection officer (DPO) at dpo@escardio.org.
