Introduction:
By December 2019, coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) due to severe
acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection, has
rapidly spread all over the world, becoming in early March 2020 a global
pandemic.
The predominant clinical course of SARS-CoV-2 infection is mostly
characterized by respiratory symptoms, such as sore throat, cough,
dyspnea, as well as fever and weakness, that can lead to pneumonia and
severe acute respiratory distress syndrome. [1]
Additionally, Covid-19 infection has been associated with myocardial
involvement and injury. [2-4]
Therefore, despite not being yet described, a potential increased risk
of malignant ventricular arrhythmias exists.
We hereby present the case of an electrical storm in the setting of a
SARS-CoV-2 infection.
