Snippet: Myocardial injury is frequently detected in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVIDâ€19) patients. However, up to oneâ€third of COVIDâ€19 patients showing STâ€segment elevation on the electrocardiogram have angiographically normal coronary arteries. We present a case of an acute coronary syndrome due to a coronary spasm in a severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARSâ€CoVâ€2) patient.

Document: Myocardial injury is frequently detected in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVIDâ€19) patients. However, up to oneâ€third of COVIDâ€19 patients showing STâ€segment elevation on the electrocardiogram have angiographically normal coronary arteries. We present a case of an acute coronary syndrome due to a coronary spasm in a severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARSâ€CoVâ€2) patient. This pathophysiological mechanism was clearly demonstrated by intracoronary imaging techniques (optical coherence tomography) and invasive vasospasm test.
