Abstract

COVID-19 is known to cause hypercoagulable and pro-inflammatory states and increase the risk of cardiovascular events. We present a case of a 57-year-old female with prior COVID who subsequently developed a STEMI requiring LVAD due to new-onset heart failure. There are no similar reports of this cardiovascular complication in COVID-19.
