Abstract

Cardiovascular complications contribute to approximately 40% of all COVID-19–related deaths. Thrombosis in COVID-19 infection is a well-known phenomenon, and the spectrum of thromboembolic diseases related to COVID-19 is wide, with venous thromboembolism being the most common manifestation. We describe a case of myocardial infarction with nonobstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA) that developed in the setting of mild COVID-19 infection. Our case illustrates how COVID-19 can present with MINOCA and highlights the importance of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging in identifying the underlying etiology.
