Cardiac complications occur in the form of acute and post-acute diseases and the most common are myocarditis, pericarditis, arrhythmias, and acute coronary syndromes or Takotsubo syndrome. Cardiovascular complications are often the cause of hospitalization and death in COVID-19 patients. We present the case of a 77-year-old woman who was admitted to the clinic with suspected myocardial infarction. Coronary arteriography revealed atherosclerotic wall lesions, and echocardiography showed a good contractility of the left ventricle and fluid in the pericardial sac. Pericarditis was diagnosed. In the following days, acute kidney damage was observed, and one hemodialysis session was performed. On the sixth day of hospitalization, a sudden cardiac arrest occurred, and the patient was resuscitated. The echocardiogaphy showed abnormal contractility of the left ventricular with the ejection fraction of 15%\u2014Takotsubo image. After a few hours, a cardiac arrest occurred again, and the patient died.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/diagnostics12102304","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,25]],"date-time":"2022-09-25T21:14:28Z","timestamp":1664140468000},"page":"2304","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Pericarditis and Takotsubo Syndrome\u2014Diagnosis of Cardiac Complications of Post-Acute COVID-19 Syndrome in a 77-Year-Old Woman"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2466-4093","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Malgorzata","family":"Zalewska-Adamiec","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Invasive Cardiology, Medical University of Bialystok, 15-089 Bia\u0142ystok, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hanna","family":"Bachorzewska-Gajewska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Invasive Cardiology, Medical University of Bialystok, 15-089 Bia\u0142ystok, Poland"},{"name":"Department of Clinical Medicine, Medical University of Bialystok, 15-089 Bia\u0142ystok, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Slawomir","family":"Dobrzycki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Invasive Cardiology, Medical University of Bialystok, 15-089 Bia\u0142ystok, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2058","DOI":"10.1093\/eurheartj\/ehaa433","article-title":"Association of hypertension and antihypertensive treatment with COVID-19 mortality: A retrospective observational study","volume":"41","author":"Gao","year":"2020","journal-title":"Eur.
