Abstract
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is associated with numerous cardiac complications. We describe a case of type 1 ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) with focal myocarditis unmasked in a patient infected with SARS-CoV-2 with no previous cardiac history, in the hope of increasing understanding of the severity and possible complications of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and improving its clinical management.
Keywords: coronary artery thrombosis; covid 19; covid-induced myocarditis; st-elevation myocardial infarction (stemi).
