Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) was first described in patients in Wuhan, China, who presented with flu-like symptoms. Since then, it has spread all over the world and in March 2020 it was labeled as a pandemic by the World Health Organization. Most common presentations include respiratory symptoms that vary from mild cough and shortness of breath to severe acute respiratory distress syndrome. Gastrointestinal symptoms like nausea, vomiting and diarrhea are also common. However, cardiovascular complications have not been reported widely. Patients can present with cardiac complications that include chest pain, heart failure and fulminant myocarditis, which is one of the most serious cardiac manifestations. Primary means of diagnosis are echocardiogram and cardiac magnetic imaging. Treatment is mostly supportive in case of cardiogenic shock and includes ionotropic support with or without mechanical circulatory support and mechanical ventilation. A strong suspicion is required for early diagnosis and aggressive treatment in order to reduce mortality and morbidity.
