We present the case of a 65-year-old male with multivessel coronary spasm presumably related to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Acetylcholine coronary angiogram and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging were used for the diagnosis. As the precise pathophysiology of myocardial injury by COVID-19 remains unclear, the multimodality approach may contribute to the accurate diagnosis.
Learning objective: Myocardial involvement by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection is related to various pathologies. It is important to evaluate the degrees of cardiac damage and make a diagnosis by multimodality imaging especially with cardiac magnetic resonance.
Keywords: Acetylcholine; Coronary angiogram; Coronary spasm; Coronavirus disease 2019; Magnetic resonance imaging.
