Miocarditis y trombosis in situ en ventrículo derecho en paciente COVID-19 / Myocarditis and in situ thrombosis in the right ventricle in a COVID-19 patient

A pesar de que el SARS-CoV-2 afecta principalmente al aparato respiratorio, se está evidenciando cada vez más la afectación de otros sistemas. Uno de los que más relevancia ha tomado es el cardiovascular tanto por daño miocárdico agudo (DMA) como por complicaciones tromboembólicas debidas al estado de hipercoagulabilidad que produce la infección. Este caso clínico presenta la coexistencia de complicaciones cardiovasculares en un paciente joven, sin enfermedades previas e infección reciente por COVID-19. Así mismo, plantea la necesidad de realizar cribado de complicaciones cardiovasculares mediante técnicas de imagen por el aumento en su incidencia. (AU)

Although SARS-CoV-2 mainly affects the respiratory system, its impact on other systems is becoming increasingly evident. Cardiovascular involvement is highly significant in the form of acute myocardial damage (AMD) and thromboembolic complications due to the hypercoagulable state produced by this infection. This clinical case presents the coexistence of several cardiovascular complications in a young patient, with no previous disease and recent COVID-19 infection. It also highlights the need for screening for cardiovascular complications by imaging techniques due to the increase in their incidence. (AU)
