(B) Echocardiography in the same patient shows right ventricular dilation (arrow), with a small hyperkinetic left ventricle in the modified subcostal view. The patient expired. Patient #2, intubation day 5, on therapeutic anticoagulation. (C) Echocardiography shows normal-size right ventricle (arrow) in the modified subcostal view.
