Abstract

Objectives: This study aims to examine the effect of left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD) on in-hospital mortality in patients hospitalized for novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Patients and methods: Between June 2020 and December 2020, a total of 847 patients (423 males, 424 females; median age: 68 years; range, 58 to 77 years) who had echocardiography and had positive real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction were retrospectively analyzed. A left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF%) of
