摘要：

Five cases of acute cor pulmonale in patients with Covid-19 are described. Although acute pulmonary thromboembolism was the most likely cause of right ventricular failure, it was not definitively confirmed in all cases. Acute cor pulmonale causing obstructive shock should be included in the differential diagnosis in critically ill patients with Covid-19. A video shows echocardiographic findings in one of the patients.
