A case report of management of cardiomyopathy in a patient with prior COVID infection Meghan I Cook Alix Zuleta-Alarcon Kasey Fiorini Yun XiaDavid L Stahl<p>The novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) is responsible for the current pandemic and while most patients have mild symptoms, severe COVID-19 infections can have long-lasting symptoms. There is data to suggest that sequelae from COVID-19 persist for months. Viral myocarditis and cardiomyopathy related to COVID-19 have been described in the non-pregnant population. We present a case of a parturient presenting with left ventricular global hypokinesis and ejection fraction of 38% two months after initial COVID-19 infection. Pregnant patients with COVID-19related cardiomyopathy should be managed by a multidisciplinary team. We suggest considering SARS-CoV-2 infection in parturients presenting with symptoms of decompensated heart failure.&nbsp;</p> Journal of Surgery and Surgical Research - Peertechz Publications 2021-06-15 Case Report https://doi.org/10.17352/2455-2968.000140 en Copyright © Meghan I Cook et al.
