Kwok CS, Gale CP, Kinnaird T, et al. - Researchers sought to ascertain the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in England by analyzing change in procedural numbers, clinical characteristics and patient outcomes. They conducted a retrospective cohort study of 34,127 patients with STEMI (primary PCI 33,938, facilitated PCI 108, rescue PCI 81). Findings revealed a reduction in primary PCI procedures for STEMI and raises in overall symptom-to-hospital and door-to-balloon time for cases with STEMI after implementation of the lockdown in England. No adverse influence on in-hospital outcomes was observed in correlation with restructuring health services during COVID-19.
