Early warning triad for pulmonary microemboli in COVID-19 pneumonia: Pulmonary artery diameter, D-dimer and NT-proBNP

In COVID-19 patients, thrombotic and fibrinolytic events due to hyperinflammation coexist. This causes enlargement of the pulmonary artery trunk, increased D-dimer and proBNP levels. We studied the correlation of PAD, D-dimer, and NT-proBNP levels. We saw that microemboli can be predicted by using t...
