Progressive chronic SARS‐CoV‐2‐positive giant cell myoendocarditis with atrial standstill and sudden cardiac death

Abstract: Giant cell myocarditis (GCM) is a rare condition. Its association with SARS‐CoV‐2 has not been described before. The 46‐year‐old female patient was admitted to the clinic on September 2020. She had 7 year adrenal insufficiency history and infarct‐like debut of myocardial disease in November 2019. After COVID‐19 in April 2020, cardiac disease progressed. The examination showed low QRS voltage, QS complexes in V 1 –V 5 leads, atrial standstill, left ventricular systo… Show more

“…Recently, Blagova et al have reported a cardiomyopathy that was rapidly progressed to a sudden cardiac death following COVID‐19 in a patient with a history of chronic adrenal insufficiency and myocardial disease with a final diagnosis GCM. 10 As far as we researched, our case seems to be the first case report of GCM following COVID‐19 in a patient with a background of autoimmune disorder, without any cardiac problem who was successfully treated with immunosuppressive therapy.…”
