To understand the hemodynamic effect of angiotensin II as a vasopressor in patients with shock secondary to COVID-19 infection. ⋯ On average, the hemodynamic response to angiotensin II in COVID-19 related shock was favorable. Two patients had a marked rapid improvement. Given the relationship of SARS-CoV-2 with the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, further evaluation of angiotensin II for the treatment of COVID-19 related shock is warranted.
