The "Lightbulb" Sign: A Novel Echocardiographic Finding Using Ultrasound Enhancing Agent in Fulminant COVID-19-Related Myocarditis.

ABSTRACT: We report a case of fulminant COVID-19-related myocarditis requiring venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation where the use of an ultrasound-enhancing agent demonstrated a previously undescribed echocardiographic finding, the "lightbulb" sign. This sign potentially represents a new area for the use of an ultrasound enhancing agent in the echocardiographic diagnosis of myocarditis.
