Background 

   Data on risk assessment for ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in the immediate recovery period from COVID is lacking. Possible various pathogenic mechanisms of myocardial injury from COVID include hypoxia, inflammation in vasculature, cardiomyopathy, myocarditis, cytokine storm, demand ischemia (1, 2). Here we are presenting a case of STEMI in the immediate recovery period from COVID with no prior history of coronary artery disease and no prior significant risk factors for acute coronary syndrome (ACS).
