Covid-19 virus has been recognized to develop major cardiac complications. The indirect effect of the virus though, in terms of fear for hospital admissions, constitutes a greater threat. In this case we present a 69-year old male patient who suffered from a myocardial infarction that has not been given the proper attention due to the fear of in-hospital contact with covid patients. The result was the delayed revascularization and eventually the development of heart failure. This case presents the full range of covid-19 affection to the heart and raises the public awareness for not underestimating symptoms suggesting life-threatening conditions.
