Cardiovascular involvement is commonly described in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), where myocardial injury can be caused by exacerbation of the underlying disease and de novo cardiovascular involvement, including myocarditis, stress cardiomyopathy and myocardial infarction. There was a drop in acute coronary syndrome admission rates worldwide as collateral damage of the COVID-19 pandemic as patients were reluctant to seek appropriate care. We presented a 47-year-old woman with acute heart failure and COVID-19 pneumonia. She had a history of typical prolonged chest pain 2 weeks before but no coronary risk factors. The electrocardiogram was consistent with late presentation myocardial infarction. Focused echocardiography showed severe left ventricle systolic dysfunction. She was medically treated for both pneumonia and heart failure. Coronary angiography showed no flow-limiting lesion. Cardiac magnetic resonance in the recovery phase revealed subendocardial late gadolinium enhancement in the left anterior descending territory compatible with myocardial infarction.
心血管受累在2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)中很常见,其中心肌损伤可能由基础疾病的加重和新出现的心血管受累引起,包括心肌炎、应激性心肌病和心肌梗死。由于COVID-19大流行的附带损害,全球急性冠状动脉综合征的入院率有所下降,因为患者不愿寻求适当的治疗。我们报告了一名47岁患有急性心力衰竭和COVID-19肺炎的女性。她在两周前有典型的长时间胸痛病史,但没有冠心病危险因素。心电图与晚期表现的心肌梗死一致。针对性超声心动图显示严重的左心室收缩功能障碍。她接受了针对肺炎和心力衰竭的药物治疗。冠状动脉造影显示没有血流限制性病变。恢复期的心脏磁共振成像显示左前降支区域的心内膜下晚期钆增强,符合心肌梗死表现。
