Abstract

The pathophysiology of ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is not well understood in Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). We present similar angiographic findings in two COVID-19 patients with STEMI. Despite percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), distal coronary flow was not restored. The pro-thrombotic and inflammatory effects of COVID-19 may lead to myocardial infarction.
