Abstract:
Pericarditis and pericardial effusion related to COVID-19 can lead to cardiac tamponade. Most case reports describe these complications in middle-aged or elderly patients. This case highlights a 29-year-old healthy patient who developed cardiac tamponade requiring an emergent pericardial window within one week of COVID-19 infection. This case also highlights the utility of point-of-care ultrasound in diagnosing serious COVID-19 complications.
