Scleroderma Cardiac Crisis triggered by SARS-CoV2

The case involves a 39-year-old woman with systemic sclerosis (SSc) who presented with cardiogenic shock in the setting of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Clinical presentation and diagnostic findings prompted consideration of two main diagnoses: fulminant myocarditis and scleroderma cardiac crisis. The discussion explores the diagnostic possibilities that may contribute to the development of acute ventricular dysfunction in patients with SSc, emphasizing histopathological and imaging findings, as well as treatment response. It underscores the need for further research into cardiac involvement in this condition.
