Abstract
We read the article with great interest article titled “The Dilemma of the Pandemic: A Medication Side Effect? What if it's COVID-19?” prepared by Akça et al., and published in the second issue of your journal in 2022. We thank the authors and the editorial board for this interesting article discussing the clinical issue. In this article, we would like to mention acute heart failure, another entity that challenges clinicians to distinguish it from pneumonia and especially SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia.
