ST Elevation in the COVID-19 Era: A Diagnostic Challenge.

Background: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 induces a marked prothrombotic state with varied clinical presentations, including acute coronary artery occlusions leading to ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). However, while STEMI on electrocardiogram (ECG) is not always associated with acute coronary occlusion, this diagnostic uncertainty should not delay cardiac catheterization.

Case Reports: We present 2 cases of patients with COVID-19 that presented with STEMI on ECG.
