Overview

Observational analysis indicates higher in-hospital mortality and treatment delays in STEMI patients during COVID-19, suggesting regional variations matter.

Key Points

  • Adjusted in-hospital mortality for STEMI patients increased significantly during the second COVID-19 wave.
  • Analysis of 72,516 STEMI admissions reveals treatment delays compared to pre-pandemic periods, highlighting critical timing issues.
  • Findings suggest regional differences in mortality rates, emphasizing the need for more tailored interventions in STEMI care.
  • Overall, preservation of STEMI care systems has prevented even higher mortality rates than initially predicted during the pandemic.
