RATIONALE: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a systemic disease with major clinical manifestations in the respiratory system. However, thyroid involvement has also been reported. We present a case of hypothyroidism with ventricular tachycardia following diagnosis with COVID-19. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 77-year-old man was admitted to the isolation ward due to COVID-19. After respiratory support and medical treatment, the patient was successfully weaned off the ventilator. However, an episode of short-run ventricular tachycardia was detected, and primary hypothyroidism was also diagnosed. DIAGNOSIS: Ventricular tachycardia was detected by electrocardiography. INTERVENTIONS: Intravenous amiodarone administration and oral levothyroxine replacement. OUTCOMES: No arrhythmia detected following treatment. LESSONS: Awareness of the association between hypothyroidism and COVID-19 is important in preventing possible complications.
