Patients 18 years of age and older under investigation for COVID-19 and those patients that are positive for COVID-19 at University of Minnesota Medical Center and Bethesda Hospital. Informed consent will be obtained from the patient or decision maker prior to study inclusion

The POCUS exam of the heart will capture 2 standard views commonly used to assess general cardiac function at the point of care. The details of POCUS views and exam findings of interest are outline below:

Pulmonary POCUS Evaluation:

1. B lines: absent (< 3 lines), present (> 3 lines), fused

2. Consolidation: yes or no

   a. Bilateral: yes or no

3. Pleural Effusion: yes or no

4. Other pleural abnormalities: yes or no Score each finding based on degree of abnormalities and number of sites with abnormalities

Cardiac POCUS Evaluation:

1. Parasternal long axis

2. Parasternal short axis

   1. Qualitative LVEF: Normal, hyperdynamic, mild-moderately depressed, severely depressed
   2. EPSS (E-point septal separation): normal (<10 mm), abnormal (>10 mm)
   3. Left ventricular (LV) mass approximation by septal thickness
   4. Left Ventricular Chamber Size by internal diameter at diastole

POCUS is a 6-point scale evaluating the degree of abnormalities and number of sites with abnormalities in ultrasound images of the lungs. Higher scores indicate greater malady.
