Τwo-dimensional bedside echocardiography (parasternal long-axis views) depicting the anteroseptal and posterolateral walls of the left ventricle (LV) in our COVID-19 patient (day-1). End-diastolic (a) and end-systolic (b) frames illustrating basal and midventricular LV akinesia with apical sparing and an “ace of spades” configuration typical of reverse takotsubo cardiomyopathy (white dashed line; frame B). End-diastolic (c) and end-systolic (d) frames after two plasma exchange sessions (day-2) showing gradual recovery of the segmental LV wall motion abnormalities
