[SARS-COV-2 myocarditis. An update].

The outbreak of the SARS-CoV-2 virus responsible for the COVID-19 disease has given rise to a new disease whose boundaries are still to be discovered. While the first data suggested a purely respiratory infection, the most recent publications highlight a large pleomorphism of the disease, responsible for multiple organ damage, of which cardiac injury seems to be the most represented. This cardiac injury can present as acute myocarditis. Our aim was to discuss the pathophysiological rationale underlying the existence of SARS-CoV-2 myocarditis and to analyze the literature data regarding the diagnosis and treatment of this particular entity.
