Abstract
Cardiac involvement is one of the extra-pulmonary presentations of COVID19. We describe a patient with COVID19 who had a devastating cardiac involvement without any pulmonary presentation. The cardiac presentations of COVID19 are myocardial injury, fulminant myocarditis, and myocardial infarction. Pulmonary involvement does not always appear, and clinical deterioration is unexpected. *Correspondence to: Anat Berkovitch, Division of Cardiology, Chaim Sheba Medical Center, Tel Hashomer 52621, Israel, Tel +972-54-5746277, E-mail: anat. berko@gmail.com
