Abstract

Myopericarditis and COVID-19: a systematic review of cases

Alireza Shojaei*

We recently published a systematic review on the electrocardiographic (ECG) findings in patients with coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) (1). In the abovementioned study, we observed myopericarditis as one of the possible patterns of cardiac involvement in severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. Earlier studies show that myopericarditis was most frequently linked to post-viral inflammations with different viruses, and SARS-CoV-2 might be another virus causing this condition. Therefore, we aimed to closely inspect the published studies (mostly case reports) regarding this pattern.
