Abstract
- Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is endemic worldwide. Cardiovascular disease, particularly myocarditis, is one of the most common comorbidities in patients with COVID-19. However, heart failure due to COVID-19-triggered cardiomyopathy is not well understood. Additionally, "pseudo" heart failure symptoms have been reported in patients with a compensated condition, in which the heart works well enough that symptoms are unnoticeable or very easy to manage. Here, we report a case of heart failure due to cardiomyopathy in a patient with COVID-19 and postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome after heart failure treatment.<br />Learning Objective: Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) symptoms after coronavirus disease 2019 may be mistaken for heart failure symptoms; thus, it is essential to suspect POTS when symptoms such as shortness of breath and palpitations are noted upon standing, along with the relevant physical findings.<br />Competing Interests: S. Kuwata and M. Izumo are consultants for Abbott Medical, Japan. The other authors have no conflicts of interest to declare.<br /> (© 2022 Japanese College of Cardiology. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
