We report a case of non-ST-elevation acute myocardial infarction after recovery from COVID-19 infection. An emergency coronary angiography revealed 50% stenosis with thrombotic occlusion in the middle left anterior descending artery. Optical coherence tomography and coronary angioscopy revealed plaque erosion with mixed thrombus on a lipid-rich plaque. This case report may help to understand the underlying mechanisms of cardiac complications following COVID-19 infection.
我们报告一例新冠病毒感染康复后发生的非ST段抬高型急性心肌梗死病例。急诊冠状动脉造影显示左前降支中段有50%的狭窄并伴有血栓性闭塞。光学相干断层扫描和冠状动脉血管镜检查显示富含脂质的斑块上有斑块侵蚀并伴有混合血栓形成。本病例报告可能有助于了解新冠病毒感染后心脏并发症的潜在机制。
