Evaluation of Aortic Elasticity Parameters in Survivors of COVID-19 Using Echocardiography Imaging

This study compared arterial stiffness between the survivors of COVID-19 and those without a history of COVID-19 infection. The difference in aortic diameter was examined using echocardiography. Results: The study included 50 patients who survived COVID-19 in the last 3 to 6 months and 50 age- and gender-matched healthy volunteers. In surviving COVID-19 patients, aortic diastolic diameter in cm ([3.1 ±0.2] vs. [2.9±0.1], p
