Abstract
Coronary artery vasospasm (CAV) is an under-recognized cause of ACS in patients with COVID-19. Difference in pathophysiology and management increases the importance of the identification of these patients. We describe the first case of CAV in a patient with COVID-19 in the absence of signs of severe systemic inflammation.
