The mid and distal segments of the inferior, inferoseptal, anterior, and anteroseptal left ventricular walls were severely hypokinetic, consistent with acute myocardial infarction (Video1). This scenario also raises important questions in the management of COVID-19 patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction in the United States, where percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is the standard of care. Severe disease in COVID-19 is also associated with sepsis-induced coagulopathy and increased mortality [19] , and ticagrelor's antiinflammatory and anti-platelet effects may prove useful in reducing this phenomenon [20] .
