RESULTS: Our retrospective study showed that STEMI patients with COVID-19 had elevated inflammatory markers with mean of their CRP (89.69 ± 30.42 mg/dl) and increased laboratory parameters of thrombosis with mean D-dimer (660.15 ± 360.11 ng/ml). In 69.2% of patients, STEMI was the first clinical presentation and symptoms suggestive of COVID-19 developed during the hospital stay; about one third of patients had a non-obstructive CAD, while patients with total occlusion had a high thrombus burden. In the current study, we aim to evaluate the angiographic and clinical characteristics of COVID-19 patients presented by ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). A non-obstructive CAD was found in about one third of patients; on the other hand, patients who had a total occlusion FMC first medical contact, PCI percutaneous coronary intervention, TIMI thrombolysis in myocardial infarction, N/A not applicable of their culprit artery, the thrombus burden was high.	./cache/cord-313976-q5j5kr1v.txt	./txt/cord-313976-q5j5kr1v.txt
