Key result
The COVID-19 pandemic caused a significant reduction in hospital admissions for acute coronary syndromes, raising concerns for increased short- and long-term cardiac complications due to delayed care.
Why the study?
During the COVID-19 pandemic, ACS raised clinical issues due to COVID-19-induced myocardial injury, management uncertainties, and reduced hospitalization rates.
The COVID-19 pandemic significantly reduced ACS hospital admissions and necessitated adapted diagnostic and therapeutic algorithms to balance timely reperfusion with infection control.

Highlights need for resilient ACS care pathways in crises; leaves open long-term outcome quantification in registries.
Cameli et al. (2021) conducted a review in Acute Coronary Syndromes and COVID-19. COVID-19 pandemic vs. Pre-pandemic period was evaluated. The COVID-19 pandemic caused a significant reduction in hospital admissions for acute coronary syndromes, raising concerns for increased short- and long-term cardiac complications due to delayed care.
