Abstract
Marfan syndrome is a connective tissue disorder which involves various systems such as the cardiovascular system. One of the cardiovascular manifestations of Marfan syndrome is ventricular dysfunction. In this report, a case of Marfan syndrome was presented who suffered from acute heart failure due to Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). We discussed about several reasons of heart failure in this case and we suggested that COVID-19 related cardiovascular complications may be more prevalent in Marfan syndrome.
