Computed tomography and echocardiography images of patients. Patient 1 (a–c): 58-year-old male. Computed tomography (CT) on admission showing crazy-paving pattern (a). Echocardiography showing right ventricular (RV) dilation with RV free wall severe hypokinesis with apical sparing (b, c, yellow allows). This patient passed away on day 25. Patient 2 (d–f): 72-year-old male. Computed tomography on admission showing a crazy-paving pattern (d). Echocardiography showing RV dilatation (e) without RV wall motion abnormality (f). The patient was transferred to another hospital for rehabilitation on day 36
