Abstract
We present the case of a 67-year-old woman with novel coronavirus-infected pneumonia, who was subsequently diagnosed with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-related myocarditis and left bundle branch block (LBBB). COVID-19-infected pneumonia treatment, such as oseltamivir, azithromycin, ceftriaxone, and ascorbic acid, may be related to the reduction of myocarditis lesion. Reduction in lesions’ size may improve the conduction system; therefore, LBBB can also be resolved in the treatment of COVID-19-infected pneumonia.
