“…15,16 Furthermore more evidence is currently needed in case of other concomitant cardiac conditions such as patent foramen ovale, cardiac devices, advanced heart failure or younger age. [17][18][19][20] Our case shows that it is possible to make an appropriate follow-up and therapy of patients even without extensive use of bedside echocardiography in COVID-19 patients. While its high availability and easiness made an ideal fi rst line diagnostic tool to date this point of view should be somewhat reevaluated.…”

Positron emission tomography (PET) with fl uorodeoxyglucose (FDG) or single photon emission, computed tomography (SPECT) can be helpful in making the correct diagnosis in these situations.…”
