Abstract
Myocarditis, an inflammatory disease of the myocardium, has been identified as a potential complication of COVID-19. Here we present a case report of a 45-year-old male patient who was diagnosed with myocarditis following a COVID-19 infection. The patient presented with chest pain, dyspnea, and palpitations. ECG and cardiac MRI revealed findings consistent with myocarditis. The patient was treated with anti-inflammatory medication and recovered with no residual cardiac dysfunction. The case highlights the potential for COVID-19 to cause myocarditis and the importance of prompt diagnosis and management in these patients.
