## Abstract

Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) primarily affects the respiratory system, but its complications have been seen in other systems, including the cardiovascular system. Chest pain is one of the most common complaints in the individuals affected with COVID-19 disease and has to be thoroughly investigated. It might be associated with fatal pathologies like acute myocardial infarction (AMI). This case demonstrates an eventual diagnosis and treatment of AMI in a patient admitted for COVID-19 disease.
