COVID-19-Induced Cardiomyopathy in a Young Nulliparous Woman

Copyright © 2021, Chenevey et al..

A young nulliparous woman presented with new-onset heart failure several weeks after an asymptomatic coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection. Investigation revealed non-ischemic cardiomyopathy without apical ballooning. A literature review demonstrates other reported cases of COVID-19-induced cardiomyopathy; however, our patient was demographically unique from previously described cases, presented later, and did not have Takotsubo-like findings. Our patient continued to have evidence of cardiac remodeling and a reduced ejection fraction months after presentation. This case highlights the importance of surveilling for the post-infectious sequelae of COVID-19, along with the wide demographic range of patients susceptible to such outcomes.
