摘要
The COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically changed the practice medicine on a global scale during the year 2020. With fewer patients presenting to hospitals with the diagnosis of STEMI, healthcare workers are wondering what is causing this decline. This piece presents data from two medical centers and addresses several possible causes to explain this phenomenon. It was found that there was a statistically significant decrease from January to March 2020 in number of presenting STEMI diagnoses. (c) 2020 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
