biostudies-literatureUnknown49(6)Yalamanchi RCOVID-19 is a novel disease with multisystem involvement, but most patients have pulmonary and cardiovascular involvement in the acute stages. The cardiovascular impact of acute COVID-19 is well recognized and ranges from myocarditis, arrhythmias, and thrombotic occlusion of coronary arteries to spontaneous coronary artery dissection and microthrombi in small coronary vessels on autopsy. We report a case of a 37-year-old man who recovered from mild COVID-19 only to present a few weeks later with devastating cardiovascular involvement that included severe left ventricular impairment resulting from nonischemic cardiomyopathy, multiple left ventricular thrombi, and embolic stroke.Texas Heart Institute journale207488https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC9809098biostudies-literatureDilated Cardiomyopathy With Multiple Left Ventricular Thrombi and Embolic Stroke After Mild COVID-19.PMC9809098Yalamanchi RMurugan MKShowkathali RChandrasekharan KfalseDilated Cardiomyopathy With Multiple Left Ventricular Thrombi and Embolic Stroke After Mild COVID-19.COVID-19 is a novel disease with multisystem involvement, but most patients have pulmonary and cardiovascular involvement in the acute stages.
