COVID-19 pandemic and associated inequities in heart attack treatment, outcomes
JAMA Network Open
About The Study: This study found that while the pandemic was associated with worse treatment and outcomes in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI; heart attack), race and ethnicity–associated inequities did not increase significantly. These findings suggest the need for additional efforts to mitigate outcomes associated with the COVID-19 pandemic for patients admitted with AMI when the hospital COVID-19 burden is substantially increased.
