Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) cases are on the rise globally, and mortality- and survival-related data are emerging every day In addition, upcoming reports are suggestive of increased risk of cardiac ailments in high-risk patients In the context of cardiac involvement, acute myocarditis has become one of the unexplored areas in COVID-19 patients, which could influence the long-term outcomes In this report, we present a rare case that warrants further study on the subject due to the paucity of data in the literature To date, no case of severe hemolytic anemias with stress cardiomyopathy/acute myocarditis in a patient of COVID-19 has been formally reported in the literature The bedside echocardiogram had shown a possibility of acute myocarditis The patient\'s marked left ventricular (LV) functional recovery without coronary intervention further corroborates the same Clinicians should be aware of the diversity of cardiovascular/hematological complications, as well as focused cardiac ultrasound study and the importance of echocardiography as a good screening modality for cardiovascular and hematological complications of COVID-19 infection
