We describe a case of acute myocarditis which was reported as the main COVID-19 clinical manifestation, with a favorable outcome.

Abstract
We describe a case of acute myocarditis which was reported as the main COVID-19 clinical manifestation, with a favorable outcome. In addition to symptoms, laboratory tests (BNP and troponin), echocardiogram and cardiac MRI contributed to diagnosis. Regardless heart biopsy was not obtained, it is likely an immunological pathogenesis of this condition which pave the way to further therapeutic implications, since there are currently no standardized treatments.
