ABSTRACT
Background:Myocardial injury is a common manifestation in patients with coronavirus disease (COVID-19), and the correlation with adverse outcomes has been demonstrated;therefore, adequate monitoring of myocardial injury markers is very important.Case Summary:A patient with COVID-19 was hospitalized in our hospital with an initial classification of intermediate risk for myocardial injury, after serial measurements of myocardial injury markers, risk was readjusted to high, as shown later by electrocardiographic abnormalities. The patient underwent emergency diagnostic coronary angiography and successful angioplasty. The patient was discharged to home.Discussion:Myocardial injury risk-stratification is essential in patients with COVID-19, since it is essential in the recognition of patients who are susceptible to cardiovascular complications.
