Abstract
The authors analyzed, classified and outlined the experience of working with patients who had suffered from COVID-19 disease to varying degrees of severity. Evaluated the possibilities of modern echocardiography in the diagnosis of complications of this infection from the heart, proposed the algorithm of ultrasound heart research in this category of patients. This year, the Recommendations of the European Association of Cardiology on the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases in patients with coronavirus infection were published. These recommendations clearly describe the risk groups of complications of this pathology because COVID affects not the lungs but also the heart. The most vulnerable were patients with chronic diseases such as diabetes, blood diseases, chronic renal failure, cancer pathology, COPD. It is in these categories of patients that complications of infection from the lungs and heart were most common.
