LIMITATIONS
The retrospective nature and small sample size of the study were its
most significant limitations. The measurement of the arterial diameters
of the patients with a single CT scan at the time of their presentation
to the hospital and the lack of CT data before and after their
COVID-19-related examination were also among the limitations of this
study. Moreover, another limitation was that this study did not include
electrocardiographic and echocardiographic tests that would be required
to assess the cardiac condition of the patient better.
