ResumoCOVID-19 has become a global health problem. So far, more than 281 million COVID-19 cases have been confirmed. The vast majority of patients diagnosed with COVID-19 infection present only with respiratory signs and symptoms. A small amount of patients, however, show signs and symptoms of cardiovascular involvement like a myocardial injury. Myocarditis is one of the possible complications, and cases of clinically suspected myocarditis have been reported in the setting of COVID-19. Herein, we present a case of inflammatory cardiomyopathy, a different type of arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy, in a 32-year-old man, 40 days after being diagnosed with COVID-19.
