This case report demonstrates that complete recovery without sequelae is possible in patients presenting with life-threatening fulminant myocarditis due to COVID-19.
Kitsou et al. (2024) conducted a case report in COVID-19-related fulminant myocarditis (n=1). Mechanical circulatory support (VA-ECMO and Impella) and medical therapy was evaluated on Clinical recovery. A male patient in his early fifties with COVID-19-related fulminant myocarditis and cardiogenic shock achieved complete recovery following treatment with mechanical circulatory support and medical therapy.
