Description
The pandemic's strain on hospitals may have worsened rare heart attack complications, and a 2023 study by Daniele Ronco and co-authors checks the European record. The complications are mechanical failures after a heart attack: torn heart walls, a ruptured inner partition, or a snapped muscle that works a valve.
The study gathered 175 patients from eighteen centers in six countries. It compares how often these failures arose, how they were treated, and how patients fared, against the pre-pandemic pattern. With heart attack admissions down and care delayed during COVID-19 surges, the team asked whether more patients arrived with these deadly breaks. The findings aim to protect time-critical cardiac care in future crises.
