Sumario:In the last two years since the inception of the Coronavirus pandemic, there have been a myriad of reports and studies related to Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). We present a unique case of COVID-19 associated with both acute myocardial infarction and new-onset atrial fibrillation (AFIB) in an elderly lady which is the first reported case to the best of our knowledge. The patient was symptomatic with acute COVID-19 and developed a type 2 myocardial infarction with new-onset AFIB. The patient also developed sepsis which may have contributed to the development of AFIB.
