    <abstract locale="en_US">Since the emergence of COVID-19 in late December 2019, patients were presented at the hospitals with different symptoms, including cardiac manifestations. Recent records of coronavirus infection in children and adolescents have been accompanied by multisystem inflammatory syndrome (MIS-C). Here, we describe a 6 -year-old girl with no history of cardiac disease, infected with COVID-19 and presented at the emergency department with fever and cardiac manifestations. Her echocardiography findings favored myocarditis with restrictive (severe) diastolic dysfunction, a rare manifestation of COVID-19 among children. Unfortunately, despite standard treatment of myocarditis and supportive care, the patient passed away. Therefore, it seems necessary to develop a guideline for the recent cardiac consequences of the pandemic among children and follow their presentations carefully.</abstract>
