Coronavirus disease 2019 and influenza B can have similar presentations and are self-limited in most cases. They are rarely associated with fatal cardiovascular complications. Coronavirus and influenza B-induced myocarditis is a rare but reversible cause of cardiogenic shock. Early detection plus administration of antiviral agents and supportive care with mechanical circulatory support in the form of an intra-aortic balloon pump can be a lifesaving measure in myocarditis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
