The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction treatment strategy and outcomes
The study's results indicated prolonged OTDT and admission-to-wire crossing times, increased in-hospital mortality, and the higher frequency of cardiogenic shock/cardiac arrest during the COVID-19 pandemic. These findings demonstrate the negative impact of the pandemic on treatment times and outcomes for patients diagnosed with STEMI.
