Abstract
Abstract: COVID-19 has been declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization and is responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths worldwide. COVID-19 is caused by SARS-CoV-2, and common clinical symptoms include fever, cough, sore throat, headache, and fatigue. The cardiovascular system is affected in this infection, with complications including myocardial injury, myocarditis, acute myocardial infarction, heart failure, dysrhythmias, and venous thromboembolic events. Current therapies for COVID-19 may interact with cardiovascular medications. Myocardial injury is relatively common in patients with COVID-19, accounting for 7%-23% of cases, and is associated with a higher rate of morbidity and mortality [1]. In patients with COVID infection clinical suspicion is necessary to diagnose myocarditis as an important complication of this infection. Here we present a patient who developed shortness of breath and orthopnea following sore throat and myalgia and was eventually treated with a diagnosis of myocarditis and discharged from the hospital in relatively good general condition.
