We describe a case in which a 29-year-old male with no medical history presented with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction as his presentation of coronavirus disease. During cardiac catheterization, he was found to have total occlusion of his left anterior descending artery by thrombus. Laboratory testing revealed markedly elevated inflammatory markers as well as evidence of a hypercoagulable state in the setting of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection, which was suspected to be the inciting factor for his acute coronary event.
