Observed and expected overall mortality for acute myocardial infarction during the COVID-19 pandemic in Italy: an analysis of nationwide institutional databases
In this analysis of nationwide institutional administrative databases, we documented an increase in observed mortality compared to the expected during the COVID-19 pandemic in Italy. This mortality increase is mainly attributable to out-of-hospital fatal events and related to concomitant COVID-19 infection for hospitalized AMI patients.
