Abstract Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Background Multiple studies documented an important reduction of acute coronary syndromes (ACS) admissions during the Coronavirus Disease 19 (COVID-19) pandemic. There are few studies regarding the ACS admissions and outcomes during the ongoing pandemic after the initial lockdown. Purpose We aimed to study the ACS admissions and in-hospital outcomes during and after the COVID-19 lockdown period. Methods A retrograde single-center study was conducted. The data for all admissions were collected from March 9th, (first COVID-19 case) until April 30th, the corresponding period of 2020 total lockdown, for three consecutive years from 2019 to 2021. The control period was considered the year 2019 and the study periods were in 2020 (lockdown) and 2021 (ongoing pandemic). ACS admissions were classified as ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), non-STEMI (NSTEMI), and unstable angina (UA). Incidence rate ratio (IRR [95%CI]) was used to compare all-ACS and subgroups admissions, and risk ratio (RR [95%CI]) to compare the mortality between each study period with the control one. Results Were included 550 ACS patients (pts) during 2019, 321 pts during 2020, and 473 pts during 2021 period. The overall-ACS admissions IRR was significantly lower during 2020 lockdown (0.58 [0.44-0.76]), and not significant during 2021 ongoing pandemic (0.86 [0.62-1.18]). During 2020 lockdown, significant reduction for STEMI and UA, the IRR respectively (0.72 [0.56-0.94]) and (0.42 [0.22-0.76]), and not significant during 2021 respectively (0.87 [0.63-1.21]) and (0.86 [0.51-1.46]) were observed. The reduction in NSTEMI admissions was not significant in both periods. The overall mortality was, importantly increased during the lockdown period (7.45 vs. 3.4 %), RR=2.16 (1.2-3.89). Meanwhile the 2021 mortality was similar (4.2 vs. 3.4%), RR=1.22 (0.66-2.26). Conclusions After the initial reduction of admissions in all-ACS, STEMI and UA during the 2020 lockdown period and the increase of all-ACS mortality, the number of admissions and the mortality returned to a similar range during 2021 despite the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

Abstract

Funding Acknowledgements

Type of funding sources: None.

Multiple studies reports a reduction of STEMI hospitalizations rates during COVID 19 pandemic outbreak. Contradictory STEMI complications rates are reported during COVID 19 pandemic regarding case fatalities rates, cardiogenic shock, life threatening arrhythmias and others.

Purpose. To evaluate the impact of the COVID 19 outbreak on STEMI patient outcomes and complication rates in country with low COVID 19 incidence and mortality and without changes in Cardiology hospital services.

Methods. Was conducted a retrograde study collecting data for STEMI hospitalizations, revascularization procedures and case fatalities and other complications from March 9th 2020 (first COVID 19 case in our country) to April 30th (period of total lockdown) compared with the same period of 2019 in our center. Incidence rate ratio (IRR) was used to compare STEMI admissions and revascularization procedures and risk ratio (RR) to compare case fatality rate and other complications rate.

Results

Hospital admissions for STEMI declined during 2020 (COVID 19 period) from a total of 217 patients in 2019 to 155 patients hospitalization in 2020 representing IRR 0.72 (p = 0.009). Reduction were observed in the number of primary PCI from 168 procedures in 2019 to 113 in 2020 (IRR 0.67 p = 0.001). Symptom onset to our ICU (including regional transportation) was significantly higher in 2020 than in 2019 (939.97 ± 1122 versus 436.15 ± 383 minutes p <0.0001) The STEMI case fatality was importantly increased during pandemic outbreak (13.55%) compared to 2019 (8.3%) (RR= 1.63 p = 0.001), but a similar a primary PCI-STEMI case fatality 6.2% versus 5.95%. Also an increase was observed for cardiogenic shock (IRR =1.75 p = 0.003).

Results; Hospitalizations and related invazive revascularization procedures for STEMI significantly reduced during COVID 19 pandemic. We identified a substantial increase of STEMI case fatalities and cardiogenic shock during pandemic outbreak. Delayed timely reperfusion by primary PCI has an important impact on infarct related mortality.

Abstract Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Background Reports from countries affected by the COVID 19 pandemic demonstrate a reduction in ACS hospitalizations and invasive procedures. Purpose We aimed to investigate the impact of the COVID 19 pandemic on ACS patient hospitalizations and related invasive procedures in a country with low COVID 19 incidence and without changes in Cardiology hospital services. Methods We conducted a retrograde study collecting data for ACS hospitalizations including ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), non- ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) and unstable angina (UA) and related invasive and revascularization procedures from March 9th 2020 (first COVID 19 case in our country) to April 30th (period of total lockdown) compared with the same period of 2019 in our center. Results Hospital admissions for ACS declined during 2020 (COVID 19 period) from a total of 550 patients in 2019 to 321 patients hospitalization in 2020 representing a 41.6% reduction (p < 0.001). The reduction was observed for all types of ACS, the greatest reduction was for UA 58% (p < 0.001) followed by NSTEMI 32% (p < 0.001) and for STEMI 28% reduction (p < 0.009). Compared to 2019 the proportion of patients presented with STEMI was higher in 2020 (48.6% vs 39.5% p = 0.01) and lower with UA (43.3% vs 31.5% p = 0.0002) Reduction was observed also in coronary angiography by 43% (p < 0.001) and in percutaneous coronary interventions with 42% (p < 0.001). Compared to 2019 the proportion of patients with 3 vessels coronary disease(CAD)and left main (LM) was higher during COVID 19 pandemic, respectively 33% vs 40% p = 0.032 and 8% vs 13% p = 0.046 Conclusions Hospitalizations and related invasive procedures for ACS significantly dropped during COVID 19 pandemic. Patients admitted to hospital during pandemic presented more with STEMI and had more 3 vessels CAD and LM. Measures should be taken to ensure patients for the safety of health services and encouraged not to neglect cardiac consultations and treatments. Collapse

Abstract Abstract Aims The Acute Cardiac Care Association (ACCA)–European Association of Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (EAPCI) Registry on ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) of the EurObservational programme (EORP) of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) registry aimed to determine the current state of the use of reperfusion therapy in ESC member and ESC affiliated countries and the adherence to ESC STEMI guidelines in patients with STEMI. Methods and results Between 1 January 2015 and 31 March 2018, a total of 11 462 patients admitted with an initial diagnosis of STEMI according to the 2012 ESC STEMI guidelines were enrolled. Individual patient data were collected across 196 centres and 29 countries. Among the centres, there were 136 percutaneous coronary intervention centres and 91 with cardiac surgery on-site. The majority of centres (129/196) were part of a STEMI network. The main objective of this study was to describe the demographic, clinical, and angiographic characteristics of patients with STEMI. Other objectives include to assess management patterns and in particular the current use of reperfusion therapies and to evaluate how recommendations of most recent STEMI European guidelines regarding reperfusion therapies and adjunctive pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments are adopted in clinical practice and how their application can impact on patients’ outcomes. Patients will be followed for 1 year after admission. Conclusion The ESC ACCA-EAPCI EORP ACS STEMI registry is an international registry of care and outcomes of patients hospitalized with STEMI. It will provide insights into the contemporary patient profile, management patterns, and 1-year outcome of patients with STEMI. Collapse
