case_images: The chest radiograph revealed para-hilar opacities and enlarged cardiac silhouette (Figure 1).
case_images: chest computed tomography: (A) obtained on day 1 shows substantial hilar congestion, cardiomegaly, and ground-glass changes; (B) obtained on discharge shows no significant abnormality

case_images: Chest Computed tomography showed ground-glass changes indicative of viral pneumonia (Figure 2A). After 13 days of hospitalization, the electrocardiogram, chest CT and echocardiography had become normal (Figure 2B, Figure 3B and Figure 4B).
case_images: electrocardiogram: (A) on day 1, shows sinus tachycardia at 125 beats/min diffuse and nonspecific disturbances of ventricular repolarization; (B) on discharge showing regression of disturbances of ventricular repolarization

case_images: The electrocardiogram revealed sinus tachycardia, diffuse and nonspecific disturbances of ventricular repolarization (Figure 3A). After 13 days of hospitalization, the electrocardiogram, chest CT and echocardiography had become normal (Figure 2B, Figure 3B and Figure 4B).
case_images: echocardiographic left ventricular M-mode images: (A) Day 1: LV diameter was enlarged, and the ejection fraction was decreased: (B) day 13: normal LVEF (60%) and wall thickness. LV = Left ventricle, LVE = left ventricle ejection fraction

case_images: Bedside transthoracic echocardiography revealed an enlarged left ventricle (61 mm) (Figure 4A), segmental myocardial hypokinesis along with a low left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) (30%) and elevated left ventricular pressures. After 13 days of hospitalization, the electrocardiogram, chest CT and echocardiography had become normal (Figure 2B, Figure 3B and Figure 4B).

case_images: Coronary angiography revealed no obstructive atherosclerosis lesions in the coronary artery (Figure 5).
case_images: MR imaging findings: (A) horizontal long axis true-FISP performed after gadolinium infusion demonstrated a subepicardial enhancement (arrows); (B) short-axis showing delayed-enhancement imaging (arrows). True-FISP = True Fat Imaging with steady-state precession
