Abstract

Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome‑Coronavirus‑2 (SARS‑CoV‑2) has been shown to increase the risk of thrombotic events due to a hypercoagulable state caused by several factors. The case of a 59‑year‑old woman affected by hypertension and metabolic disorders, treated for a COVID‑19 infection who developed cardiac symptoms during the first days of hospitalization is reported. Electrocardiogram analysis and cardiac‑ultrasound confirmed ST‑segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) diagnosis, thus the patient underwent percutaneous coronary intervention, which was successful. This case highlights a possible association between respiratory infection, particularly SARS‑CoV‑2 infection, and cardiovascular events, in particular Acute Coronary Syndrome. The association between these phenomena seems related to a range of factors, including a proinflammatory state and the hypoxemia. Moreover, the association amongst SARS‑CoV‑2 and cardiovascular diseases may be also linked to long‑term sequelae. Thus, further studies are required to better understand the multifaceted and severe complications of this disease.
