The World Health Organization declared the SARS-CoV-2 infection causing severe acute respiratory distress a global pandemic in March 2020. While respiratory features are commonly at the forefront of the disease, cardiovascular complications have been observed and associated with a poorer prognosis [1]The mechanism is multifactorial, associating endothelial damage, anabnormality of hemostasis, and immunothrobosis [2].We report the case of a 37-year-old female patient who had a myocardial infarction related to a thrombus located in the left coronary artery,whos his covid 19 disease was subsequently diagnosed, andwhose evolution was favorable.The interest of this case report is to show the need to acquire the reflexto think about a covid 19 disease in case of acute coronary syndrome (especially for theyoung) even in the absence of other obvious respiratory signs, as well asto shed light on the mechanism and the particularity of diagnostic andtherapeutic management of this kind of complications.
