Article Abstract
A 10-year-old child with stabilised idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy was admitted to the hospital with sudden worsening of heart failure. Further analysis showed increased NT-proBNP and positive for COVID-19. Myocarditis secondary to COVID-19 was assumed. Recurrent hospitalizations with inotropic support were required due to the progressive worsening of cardiac function. Seven months after SARS-CoV-2 myocarditis, she underwent heart transplantation.
