Clinical case: A 51-year-old patient admitted to the emergency room for epigastric pain with no respiratory signs and with an ST-segment elevation inelectrocardiogram that ultimately revealed myocarditis and SARS CoV-2 2 infection.

Conclusion: The clinical manifestations of SARS CoV-2 might be atypical, and the diagnosis might be considered in this pandemic area.
