Title: Recurrent Chest Pain after COVID-19: Diagnostic Utility of Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging Cord-id: uan47pm5 Document date: 2021_8_21
ID: uan47pm5
Snippet: We report a case of myocarditis in an adult patient with recent COVID-19 infection presenting as recurrent ST-segment elevation, mimicking coronary vasospasm. This case highlights the wide range of presentations of COVID-19 related myocarditis. The novel teaching point is that COVID-19 myocarditis can present with acute manifestations such as chest pain and transient ST-segment elevation even several weeks after complete recovery from initial infection. CMR should be considered in patients with
Document: We report a case of myocarditis in an adult patient with recent COVID-19 infection presenting as recurrent ST-segment elevation, mimicking coronary vasospasm. This case highlights the wide range of presentations of COVID-19 related myocarditis. The novel teaching point is that COVID-19 myocarditis can present with acute manifestations such as chest pain and transient ST-segment elevation even several weeks after complete recovery from initial infection. CMR should be considered in patients with chest pain syndromes and angiographically normal coronary arteries as the presence of LGE and high T2 signal can be diagnostic. A follow up CMR may be used to assess resolution.
