Introduction. Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been linked to significant cardiovascular complications such as cardiac arrest, which are associated with a poor prognosis in adults. Little is known about the cardiac complications, specifically cardiac arrest, of COVID-19 during pregnancy and postpartum periods. Case. We present a case of survival and full neurological recovery after maternal cardiac arrest associated with COVID-19 in a postpartum female. Her postpartum course was also associated with seizures attributed to posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome. After 19 days in the hospital, she was discharged home neurologically intact. Conclusion. More information is needed to determine the range of short- and long-term cardiac complications that may be associated with COVID-19 during pregnancy and postpartum. Additionally, pregnant patients with COVID-19 may be more likely to survive cardiac arrest compared to the general population.

Cardiac arrest is common and deadly. Fortunately, with advances in care, short- and long-term outcomes of those resuscitated after cardiac arrest are steadily improving. Initial management focuses on general critical care support of multisystem organ dysfunction and diagnostic workup to identify the etiology of cardiac arrest. Thereafter, provision of a comprehensive bundle of care including active temperature management, coronary revascularization, delayed multimodal neurological prognostication, and best practice neurocritical care can result in a substantial proportion of patients experiencing favorable recovery despite patterns of injury once thought to be incompatible with survival.

Overview: As new therapies improve survival from cancer, attention to comorbid illness and complications of therapy—both short- and long-term—become much more important to improving not only quality of life but also overall survival. Recognized for its importance as the leading cause of death in the United States, heart disease often coexists with cancer, and cancer treatment may increase risk and/or severity. In addition, there are well-recognized cardiovascular toxicities of cancer treatment, including not only cardiomyopathy, but also hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, and others. Oncologists and cardiologists are working closely to learn more about the complex interaction and to improve management and outcome for patients.
