Abstract :
Marfan syndrome is a connective tissue disorder which involves various systems such as the cardiovascular system. One of the cardiovascular
manifestations of Marfan syndrome is ventricular dysfunction. In this report, a case of Marfan syndrome was presented who suffered from
acute heart failure due to Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‑19). We discussed about several reasons of heart failure in this case and we
suggested that COVID‑19 related cardiovascular complications may be more prevalent in Marfan syndrome.
