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.
