Cardiovascular Health of the Balearic Islands (Spain) After the COVID-19 Pandemic.

ABSTRACT: Background/Objectives: The COVID-19 pandemic caused healthcare managers to reallocate resources from other areas in order to handle the outbreak. Cardiovascular usual care was especially affected during the first wave. Methods: We analyzed the short- and mid-term impact of the resource reallocation on cardiovascular health, focusing on the Balearic Islands in Spain. Data from 2019 to 2021 of the regional healthcare system and from the national and regional stats center were collected in order to analyze the variations in type of admissions, main causes of cardiovascular mortality, and the correlation between the monthly variation in those causes of mortality and total cardiovascular mortality. Results: The year 2021 showed worse results in terms of healthcare outcomes
