Echocardiography is generally used in our daily practice to detect cardiovascular complications in COVID‐19 patients and for etiological research in the case of worsened clinical status. Many echocardiographic parameters have been the subject of investigation in previous studies on COVID‐19. Recently, the right ventricle early inflow‐outflow (RVEIO) index has been identified as a possible and indirect marker of the severity of tricuspid regurgitation and right ventricular dysfunction in pulmonary embolism. In this study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between the severity of pneumonia in COVID‐19 patients and the RVEIO index.
