Abstract
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.
