Abstract

SARS-CoV-2 has been associated with a lot of complications one of which is myocardial injury which is still a subject under study. Here we present a case of a 63 years old diabetic man with signs of left ventricular failure and clear evidence of myocardial injury, later diagnosed as COVID-19. In the setting of cardiac emergency medical professionals need to have a high index of suspicion early on during the management.
