It would come as no surprise to healthcare professionals that the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent suspension of essential cardiac care has had a detrimental impact on patient outcomes, as the visual illustrates. Among the notable consequences have been a rise in the number of cardiac deaths at patients’ homes and a higher percentage of complications due to late presentation/delayed treatment, as well as an expected worse long-term prognosis.
Dr. Mylotte et al. focused on existing evidence about the pandemic’s impact on interventional cardiology procedures in both acute and elective settings, with the goal of better understanding the impact on patient outcomes.
