Description

Throughout the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, there have been reports of infection leading to acute myocardial injury, causing worse clinical outcomes. The manifestations can include troponin elevation, imaging exam abnormalities and electrocardiographic changes. Accordingly, ST-segment elevation (STE) acute myocardial injury has been observed in some patients. However, despite the electrocardiogram (ECG) ischemic changes, complementary exams may not show any obstruction, excluding coronary occlusion as the cause of the injury. (author)
