Delayed Presentation of STEMI Complicated by Ventricular Septal Rupture in the Era of COVID-19 Pandemic

A significant concern in current coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic era is delay in first medical contact in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), due to reluctance to visit the hospital. We report a case of delayed presentation of STEMI as ventricular septal ru...

description A significant concern in current coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic era is delay in first medical contact in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), due to reluctance to visit the hospital. We report a case of delayed presentation of STEMI as ventricular septal rupture during the COVID-19 pandemic, a rare presentation in the current age of primary percutaneous coronary intervention.
