Overview

COVID-19 caused by the novel coronavirus, also known as SARS-CoV-2 mainly affects the lungs, causing severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS). It invades through the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptors present abundantly not only in the lungs but also in the heart, kidneys, intestine, brain, skin thus causing multiorgan dysfunction. Studies have demonstrated that COVID-19 interacts with the cardiovascular system, thereby causing myocardial injury and dysfunction as well as increasing morbidity among patients with underlying cardiovascular conditions. 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. Myocarditis is a potentially lethal complication of COVID-19. Although many anecdotal reports of myocarditis have been noted, there are only a handful of case reports in the literature about myocarditis related to COVID-19. The exact pathophysiology of COVID-19-associated myocarditis is still elusive; but the proposed mechanisms involve direct invasion through ACE2 receptors and cytokine storm. If untreated, it may lead to life-threatening complications such as cardiogenic shock, heart failure and even death. Supportive care remains the mainstay of treatment.

Diagnostic Criteria

  • The diagnosis of myocarditis cannot be made with a single test or examination. When indicated, the diagnosis requires a combination of:

Signs and Symptoms

Clinical presentations have varied in the reported COVID-19 cases with myocarditis in the literature with potential overlap in symptomatology in patients with primary COVID-19 infection and COVID-19 patients with clinically suspected myocarditis. Clinical presentation of COVID-19 related myocarditis varies among cases from mild to severe to fulminant.
