Copyright © 2020, Tiwary et al..

A young male with long-standing type 1 diabetes mellitus, chronic kidney disease, and known ventricular hypertrophy presented with dyspnea and abdominal pain and was diagnosed with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection. On day nine of hospital admission, patient developed ventricular tachycardia with electrocardiogram (ECG) changes and elevation in troponin level consistent with myocarditis and development of cardiogenic shock. Bedside limited echo demonstrated signs of tamponade and patient underwent surgical pericardial window procedure. He was also noted to develop marked prolongation of corrected QT interval (QTc) while on amiodarone.
