Patient Perceptions of Cardiac Electrophysiology Procedural Postponement at an Urban Center During the SARS-CoV-2 Pandemic.

ABSTRACT: To curb transmission of SARS-CoV-2 and preserve hospital resources, elective procedures were postponed in the United States, affecting patients previously scheduled for electrophysiology (EP) procedures. We aimed to understand patients' perceptions related to procedural postponements during the first wave of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. We performed a telephone survey between May 1-15 2020, of consecutive patients who experienced procedural postponement from March-April. Of 112 patients, 20% may have been lost to follow up and 12% lost interest in having their procedures done. The level of anxiety related to postponement was moderate to high in more than two thirds of patients.
