Abstract: A 67-year-old man with history of heart failure developed dyspnea. In this report, we describe an increase in his device-detected respiratory rate. Monitoring respiratory rate is recommended for evaluating acute cardiac decompensation, but such an algorithm could also be used to diagnose episodes of pneumonia caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2 infection. ( Level of Difficulty: Intermediate. ).<br />Competing Interests: M. Malacrida is an employee of Boston Scientific.
