Findings Underscore Need for Public Education on Benefit of Early Treatment for Cardiac Care
WASHINGTON, D.C., (April 28, 2021) – Results from a retrospective observational study, presented today at Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions (SCAI) 2021 Virtual Scientific Sessions, reveal a 70% decline in the number of patients presenting with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) during April 2020 compared to April 2019. While the number of patients with AMI seeking care at hospitals dropped during the pandemic, those that did receive care experienced more severe symptoms because of delays in patients seeking emergency
services.
AMI, commonly recognized as a heart attack, is responsible for more than one million deaths in the U.S. every year.
